Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 this old Berni Inn was whitepainted, & just around the corner from the bowling alley Surely that's the place in the photo I originally posted. But by then it wasn't a Berni. Here's the Cricketer's when it still appears to be a Berni. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Certainly looks like it, if you went uphill about a hundred yards, turned right, is that the bowling alley? If so that's definitely it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yes, the bowling alley was/still is at the base of the tower block in the background! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yes it was 'Berni', we sometime popped in for a steak after Ice Skating on a Sunday. Re #17 it was actually Plumtre single 'E' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 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. ?........sorry Kev thought you meant this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 The pub in Plumptre Square is listed in an 1896 directory as The Town Arms. Not 100% but I think i went in there once to meet someone in the 1960s. Note the spelling of Plumptre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 ?........sorry Kev thought you meant this one All pubs become very similar under certain circumstances.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Apologies if this is just re-stating earlier posts, but re #20, Paulus, The Old Cricket Players at the bottom of Barker gate was a Berni in 60's/early 70's, used to enjoy going in on a Saturday evening. If I remember correctly there were photos of Panthers and Notts CC players around the walls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 There is a thread on Berni Inns. The Town Arms Plumtree Square, I had to visit in my former working life. It was empty and derelict then. The owner at that time gave me the beer pumps, one of which is the Guinness Pint Glass. I still have them, maybe it will be worth something one day?
