Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think The News House on Canal Street is a rebuild of a much older building. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,492 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 At least by the early 80s (and maybe earlier) the Dolphin had become Byrons, and continued as that until it was eventually demolished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The Coach & Horses Upper Parliament Street The Talbot(Yates's)has been rebuilt more than once. The Jolly Higglers Ilkeston Road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,492 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The Talbot(Yates's)has been rebuilt more than once. Surprised to find a photo of it. The building on the extreme left is the Talbot (Yates) before the one which is there now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The Colliers Arms at Cinder Hill. Original was a little higher up, just above the pit entrance. Had a serving-hatch in the back wall to serve miners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coffers77 34 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Windsor Castle at the bottom of Carlton Hill was a quaint local replaced by a bigger modern pub also called the Windsor (it was a Hardy Hanson's pub). The new pub has been closed for several years but has recently been put up for sale by its owners - Tesco (next door). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 On my last visit to Nottm- I called into The New Castle.. the Lamp to you and i ,but it wasn't always called The Lamp..or even The Red Lamp. As you know my family were fairground stock and layed up in Bulwell and Sneinton. Many Gypsies drank in Smiths Arms ( The Madhouse). Story goes,a Gypsy half- inched a swan..which was deemed to be owned by the Crown. This bloke was tried and hung for said crime. Such was the out cry that the Gypsy folk kicked up a huge fuss- but to no avail. They drank in the pubs at the lower end of the Dale and when in town they presented quite an intimidating presence... so much so that Swan matches were banned from Sneinton pubs..and they were not stocked by publicans locally- especially any subsequent owners of The Lamp- fearing the 'curse' that was put on the pub by these Gypsies. This continued up until the 1940's apparently... Funny The Wheatsheaf always refused to sell matches..when i drank in there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thank goodness I didn't light my Parky with a "Swan Vesta" when we used to go on our Sneinton pub crawls in the 70/80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
