If you stood there and paid that for four drinks then you and the landlord deserve each other...I'd have told them to sod off and walked out.

The Marquis of Lorne was my maternal grand dads local when he lived on Salisbury Street from the 1920s until the early 1960s.

The Swinger was the favourite pub for the railway operatives at the sidings at Bestwood Park Junction.

For anyone who might remember the South Notts Hussar, which was near Loughborough Road/Wilford Hill; it closed about 10 years ago and then sat empty for several more years. Finally the site is being developed; looks like housing.

It certainly does. More homes, and nowhere for them to relax and socialise. Sad times.

Two pubs which have been closed for a while now, but I went past the area recently and if anyone remembers them from their younger days it might be a bit of a shock.

This is the former 'Man of Trent' at Clifton. Completely flattened. First pub I ever went in on the estate.

And not quite on Clifton, but this is the Clifton Bridge Inn at Silverdale; also known as the Ponderosa and mentioned in the thread about pub nicknames. It's been closed for quite a few years, and the demolition seems to have come to a halt as well.

The letter box is just a hole in the door, and by poking a camera though the gap, somebody might recognise the view.

I used to drink in the Man of Trent when I had a girl friend on Green Lane in the 60s. I remember the Clifton Bridge Inn being called the Ponda Rosa. Was it because the landlord was called Cartwright?

Well that's the Man of Trent and Grey mere pubs gone the ponderosa closed but not down yet, went in them all and had great times, which pub next in Clifton to close? It's looks like they have started to build on the site of the old Man of trent.

At the moment it is right on the edge of all the massive roadworks for the widening of the A453. I'm not sure if the site of the Man of Trent might disappear under the new road scheme there.

Another one for the chop.

Plans to turn it in to a Jehover's Witness Church.

Bit nostalgic for me, went in there the first night it opened many moons ago, about 1970 ish. Was courting a young lady around those parts !
