Annesleyred1865 137 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Can anyone help me with a pub query? My mam 85 born in St Anns keeps going back into the past and she mentioned as an underage drinker (1940's) she went in Pubs around town. The last two she talked about were the Dog and Partridge (which I go in now and again) and another. One known as the 'Dirty Dog' which they gave a wide berth to. Does anyone know where it was or if it had its name changed over the years? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sounds more like a nickname doesn't it? Shippo's Dog and Gun on Trinity Square not far away? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 With both Old Dog and Partridge and Original Dog and Partridge being opposite each other, she perhaps found one of them not as salubrious as the other! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 The Old D & P was the worst of the two by all accounts, so that is probably the one she meant. Both were 'dog' rough in my estimation though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Was the Dog and Partridge renamed ' Original ' after the Old Dog and Partridge was later built? There was also the Dog and Bear. I'd heard this was supposed to have had a reputation at certain times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,601 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 The Old Dog and Partridge was a rough house,could have been called the Dirty Dog way back Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 The original Old Dog & Partridge was built in the 1800's and was called - The Old Dog & Partridge Brewhouse... then Shippo's bought it in the 1890's and the Brewhouse was dropped.when they built the pub over the road( with the same name) in 1908- they called it the "Original" Dog & Partridge It closed in1970 to make way for Victoria Centre.

Annesleyred1865 137 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks all. That sounds about right the one being opposite. She (my mam) said both sides of the road. Its unusual for two pubs to have pretty much the same name so close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Two bits of possible explanation. Looking at the first paragraph here, the name Postern Gate seems to be fake-old, and only appeared in the late 1800s. http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/tts/tts1929/itinerary1929p3.htm Clue may also be the yard out the back, which was Postern Place. That name exists on maps back to 1830s, so a long time before the pub got its name. A bit chicken and egg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shippo's Dog and Gun on Trinity Square not far away? The same (?) Dog & Gun came up in another thread a few years ago but I can't find it now. I photographed a ghost sign of it, but didn't know what it referred to at the time. Someone on NS identified it. The Dog & Gun was on Mansfield Road towards the Poacher. this is the sign on an alley looking from Sherwood Street towards Mansfield Road. And PTP have a photo of the original pub. The alley is almost hidden behind the lamp post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likewise, Bulwell crews used the Piccadilly Club after a grueling late on a Saturday. !
