mary1947 2,079 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Memories !!!! spent many a lunchtime in the Loggerheads not what you think, I was in the back yard with the skittle/bowling ally, while my grandad & dad were inside haveing a pint. Your right about the murder never being solved not sure if this pub is now called Pegges or if it has gone back to ordinal name of "Pretty Windows" At the time of the murder my (boyfriend for want of a better word ) now hubby (master) had walked me home, he lived bottom of Snention Dale and he was taken to Bath St police station and had to answer lots of question's.

Marrowman 34 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I remember the Loggerheads as well! My brother used to live virtually opposite on Cliff Road and we spent many a happy hour there! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,143 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 @Marrowman, that is a great link you've posted, regarding lost pubs. Just had a trawl through the various photographs on there and it was quite enlightening. Thank you for that. Pity there were no pictures of General Havelock ( Ronald st.) Or Denman Inn, ( Denman st) as these were the local pubs when I were a nipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I don't think Fox & Grapes was ever officially known as 'Pretty Windows'; that was just a nickname, although it was probably better known than its official name. It also had a makeover a couple of years ago and now looks quite civilised. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2Z2FqoWv1HvsyxxZ8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 The Fox and Grapes is very well know to me as my father in law would quite often go in for a pint. Mellissa First it was called The Fox and Grapes then changed to "PEGGERS" then went back to The Fox and Grapes. People would say it was called "Pretty Windows" because of the leaded windows. My father in law as I said used to have a pint in there, and the reason it was called "Pretty Windows" each morning when the men had been out poaching they would hang the Pheasants, hares, rabbits, grouse, ect on the window railings, this was told to me as i say years ago. ps I had just got married so maybe date 60s Fred father in law was around 69. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrowman 34 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 This is a link to an Evening Post article about the statue which used to be at the Old General, Hyson Green. It's an interesting read if you can get past all the adverts! https://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/whats-on-news/nottingham-pubs-iconic-old-general-9082958 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
