jackson 301 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Now then fellas leave our Paulus alone! He's not a bad lad really, in fact he's done me a favour by putting on one of my favourite records from way back when I was a teenager of 14: Mr Eden Kane singing 'Forget Me Not'. Delicious is the only word to describe this song; love it now as I did back then. Played it that many times on my Dansette, it's a wonder it didn't eventually melt! Anyone remember Eden's 'Well I ask You!', this was a number 1 for ages. Eden took the pop world by storm but viewing the above video, I can't help but notice that he seemed to be copying his gestures and stance from every school girl's dream back then: Mr Billy Fury. A Smacker for Eden A Smacker for Billy - for making our teenage years memorable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just got to love this latest pub that's closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 One tbat always seems to escape it's seemingly inevitable fate is The Loft on Mansfield Road. I know and use several of the pubs down that stretch but almost forget that one is there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Where would you like them putting? What are you listening to today.............was what I aimed for, but took a wrong turn, however the mistake was worthwhile as HRH Christine enjoyed the Eden Kane vid'............................won't be long before we're all royalty at this rate................ There'll be no plebs left.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, thanks again for that Paulus, must have given Eden three spins; at one time I remember giving this particular record, play after play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Anyway back on topic.... I did hear that The Old Volunteer (Carlton) isn't going to be there much longer , no idea how true that is though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,459 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 A pub I'd never come across before, and which closed down sometime in the 1920s or 30s, so I don't suppose anyone here ever went in it. The Union Inn, near Trent Bridge It was approximately here 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's where Turneys tannery was, I'm pretty sure that was there a long time before the 20's , I may be wrong though and stand to be corrected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I did notice the other day that The TBI is now a Wetherspoons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The "today" building is the former Turney's Tannery, it is now apartments. The pub - Union Inn - was demolished when Turney's expanded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Understand that The Grove at Daybrook Square is due to be demolished to make way for houses. About forty years too late...a real classy joint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Agree. Never been tempted in there once, rough place with a 'reputation'. It has a bit of history connected to the Daybrook railway station I found out recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Lambley - most recently a restaurant but formerly The Nag's Head at Lambley village has recently closed it's doors. Customer notice We are sorry to inform you that the company that operated The Lambley have ceased trading. The Lambley is currently closed but will be taken over and reopened next month by one of Nottinghamshire’s most experienced pub and restaurant operators, with a major reinvestment and refurbishment project planned for later in 2013. I used to love this place when it was a pub, lovely for a walk on a Summer's evening across the fields at Lambley and a pint at the end of the day. It was a great shame that the pub ran down, was closed and turned into a restaurant. I tried the restaurant the odd time but was not particularly impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Castle Rock perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 That would be good news, Paulus. I must admit the first people that came to mind for me were the people who run Tom Browns at Gunthorpe and a few other places, the Perkins. I'd love to see it become a genuine pub again.

Beefsteak 305 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I had a meal in there for my Mums 80th last year, sadly I wasn't that impressed. (Probably so weren't a lot of people and that'll be why it's closing and changing hands) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piggy and babs 544 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 the first thing that comes to my mind is the big brewries like green or square deal although not realy nottingham breweries they own so many pub food chains around the area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
