Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi there Deejay & welcome to the forum! Are you sure it's Kennington Road? I've just looked a my Kelly's directory for 1941 and could see no public house listed or on any of the streets off of Kennington Road. Checked back as far as 1932 & forward as 1950 & can find no record of a pub on Kennington Road Do you have a name for this pub? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,451 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I assume we are talking about the Kennington Road on the edge of Radford, off Wollaton Road? As Bubblewrap says, I don't believe there has ever been a pub on Kennington Road, but there was one on the corner with Wollaton Road, and is now a bar called Fusion. https://goo.gl/maps/vSvkL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,451 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Found it. This is the corner of Kennington Road and Wollaton Road, now Fusion. Used to be the Midland Hotel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
