DJBrenton 738 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I wondered that as well. I knew about the one near The Trip, but where is / was this one? That's actually in Syston. http://www.godining.co.uk/Gastro-Pubs/Leicester/The-Gate-Hangs-Well/173/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Your fingers are quicker than mine, DJBrenton.... Wonder if the original picture was taken by Reg Baker......I see a familiar bike propped up against the wall?https://www.google.com.au/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x4879d8b1b5d63325:0x433fcfe223a51c17!2m5!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://plus.google.com/100557982589180189803/photos?hl%3Den%26socfid%3Dweb:lu:kp:placepageimage%26socpid%3D1!5sthe+gate+hangs+well+syston+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ei=FuKAVInwIcPp8AXgnICoAg&ved=0CHUQoiowDQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well of course the whole area including Newcastle colliery was owned by the Duke hence the Newcastle Arms opposite where the pit used to be. Half the soddin' county was owned by the ruddy dooks...Newcastle, Portland, and the rest...I wonder how they managed to nick all that land off the poor peasants. One of the reasons Newcastle had his castle burned out was because he opposed the poor having any say in the running of the country.And yet they had the nerve to name the working mans pubs after them.

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I remember drinking in the Corner Pin but can't remember where it was? Also drank in a tiny pub called Ye Hole in Ye Wall but can't remember much about that either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also drank in a tiny pub called Ye Hole in Ye Wall but can't remember much about that either. Corner Pin became Tammy then Disney Store on the corner of Parliament St and Clumber St opposite the entrance to the Victoria Centre. It closed in 1989. http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0CAQQjBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegoodpubguide.co.uk%2Fvar%2Fldc-images%2F10691181.jpg&ei=zO2AVNeOOoL0OrT0gcAG&bvm=bv.80642063,d.bGQ&psig=AFQjCNG0QWkJ7zU0eR8U8mBmzthifZaY7A&ust=1417822023038011 https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomackroyd/8507244779/ There's a Hole In The Wall on North Sherwood St still going strong. http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0CAQQjBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegoodpubguide.co.uk%2Fvar%2Fldc-images%2F10691181.jpg&ei=zO2AVNeOOoL0OrT0gcAG&bvm=bv.80642063,d.bGQ&psig=AFQjCNG0QWkJ7zU0eR8U8mBmzthifZaY7A&ust=1417822023038011 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 #32 Thanks DJB. North Sherwood St - yes that was where it was. Must have modernised the name from Ye Hole in ye Wall? Remember the Corner Pin now. Used to nip in there on Colemans night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,533 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Strange. It was Ye Hole in Ye Wall last time I walked past it and it wasn't THAT long ago. I usually park up North Sherwood Street when going into town with a vehicle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The other one that I can't place is this, described as "The Black Horse" - and no other information. I can find references to a Black Horse in Bulwell, Caythorpe, and Mansfield, so maybe it's one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Theres mention of a Black Horse on Coventry Rd, Bulwell . Also a transfer of a licence in 1892 of a Black Horse on Stoney St , Nottingham but that doesn't look anything like that street . May be some more forgotten pubs on this list of licence transfers from 1892 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8655/15765600179_3eacc40080_o.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 That's definately not the Black Horse at Caythorpe. It's flat around there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks similar to Underwood / Selston area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reasons Newcastle had his castle burned out was because he opposed the poor having any say in the running of the country.And yet they had the nerve to name the working mans pubs after them. That wasn't always the case with pubs named after members of the aristocracy. I think I'm right in saying that the Marquis of Granby actually set some of his old soldiers up in the trade when they retired from the army, and many are still named in his memory.

catz 10 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I asked on here quite a while ago if anyone had a photo of the Colliers Arms that stood at Babbington Pit at Cinderhill. Nobody had one of the pub but I wondered if since then one had been found? Strange that there doesn't seem to be one on the lost pubs website either, reference to it but no photo.

Chulla 4,946 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 #40 Catz. The only picture that has the old Colliers Arms on it that I know of is the one below, from the Nuthall Local History Society, and published in the book The Great Northern Railway in the East Midlands, by Alfred Henshaw. It is not very clear, but better than nothing. I have scrawled an arrow at where it used to be. A chap I knew told be he remembered it, and said that it was just above the entrance to the pit looking towards Nuthall. Incidentally, the pit is in Nuthall not Cinder Hill - the old boundary marker used to be on the cross-roads.  The photo is very interesting, and was taken, it is noted, as circa 1928. The replacement Colliers Arms and the pithead baths were later built on the piece of open ground just before the railway over-bridge. The original line out of the pit yard and over the A610 can be seen curving away to the right. These old disused lines and the crossing gates were still there after the war - we used to play there. The other line out of the pit went to Cinder Hill Junction where it split into two. One on the LMS line to Basford Crossing (used today by the tram), and the other, as can be seen, curving up the gradient to the LNER line to Basford.    3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Chulla The Colliers Arms, If I recall correctly, was the first pub outside of the Nottingham city which had the extra half an hour of serving time after 10:30pm. I do recall some races to the Three Ponds or to the Colliers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 48 847 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Passed The Wheatsheaf today at Bobbers Mill and a notice has gone up saying " Site aquired for Development" any guesses as to what it may be? Another Tesco/Sainsbury/ Morrisons local . Bit of a funny location for new houses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 We've still never identified the pub in post #35 on this thread - typical NEP with no information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Just been through my directories & according to Kelly's of 1891 there was a Black Horse at Wellow . According Kelly's it says Wellow, Newark but it is some way off Newark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
