Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Dated as circa 1970, this shows the corner and - almost - the shop in question. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm018688/posterid/ntgm018688.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Long’s shop, when I used to frequent it, was on DERBY Road, opposite, and just up from the Cathedral. Antique japanese swords are worth thousands. They are still being forged by expert smiths in Japan, but they usually go into the safes of rich business men as an investment. At one point I was quite “into” the subject. I went down to the V&A which had some beautiful examples, but it put me off a bit when I realised I would never be able to afford anything like those. Post hijack over! sounds to me then that £15 off for a japanese sword is actually poor - though it is more like £50 today still peanuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I think there were 2 pubs on Mansfield Road around that area, one called The Nags head and one called The old grey nags head. There was another one nearby, The Criterion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Criterion was apparently this building (the section with the loft conversion) which has now been converted to...guess what. https://goo.gl/maps/CoCxdTiEmoRvo1vN7 And I believe that the Old Grey Nag's Head is what is now the Lincolnshire Poacher.
