mick2me 3,033 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Wasn't Oscars the place in West Bridgeford? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Where is Stu, I bet he would know the answer to this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 At the moment I think it's call Oscar's Lounge. Don't know what it was before this. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Stu hasn't been posting for a while, probably taking a break from it. (#7). If any new members fancy a good read then take a look at Stu's website called 'Tears Of A Clown'. Two of the latest articles are about 'The Human Pin Cushion' and the lead singer from 'Sweet', Brian Connolly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steed 0 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I was trying to fing the name of the pub which was across from the Sneinten bottoms....the big junction there at parliament St....the pub was at the bottom on the road up to the Lac Market? I do remember the Castle pub, a bit further along on Parliament st but this one has me stumped??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 This one? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM004325&prevUrl= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 There was one on Parliament st/ Poplar st had Partridge in the name, Dog and Partridge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Den, I was trying to recall that one, but I was of the mind it was a Pheasant, not a Partridge!? Poet and Pheasant perhaps ? Sure that someone will have the definitive answer, though this aint the one Steed was on about. How about The Town Arms on Plumptre Square, close to the bottom of Barker Gate ? Fox and Grapes at bottom of the Fruit and Veg market on Lower Parliament Street ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Or this one which is still at the bottom of Hockley? http://goo.gl/maps/vmGgF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 #10 & #13, I do believe it was just called The Stag and Pheasant. I remember playing darts for the Malt Shovel (Beeston) there many years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thats the one, D&P was close. Where was Parliament st junction near sneinton and Lace market? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Or this, which was officially known as Plumtree Square, on the edge of the Lace Market near Parliament Street. Dunno the name of the pub, which is the white building with the burn-out roof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Was this the Plumtree Arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It was the Town Arms in the sixties/ seventies. The large 2 storey warehouse to the left was a tyre depot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 This one? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM004325&prevUrl= Is this the pub that was formerly a Berni Inn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Not absolutely certain but I think it was a Berni in the last years of its existence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazalways 26 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It certainly is Paulus, the last owners of the pub was a Mr Li & his sons James Daniel & Mark. They opened it as a Cantonese Restaurant a few years before the planned ice stadium project. I loved to eat there, when it closed I felt Nottingham had lost its finest Cantonese food. James still runs a takeaway on Mapperley Top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulus 541 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 No Paul, you are thinking of the old cricket players Hippo girl, I think you're right, this old Berni Inn was whitepainted, & just around the corner from the bowling alley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
