Great shame as it’s a lovely spot overlooking the Trent and country side beyond. Hopefully they will find new tenants. Sorry, I see I’m late on parade with this one.

LizzieM 9,514 Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 That’s a shame, although we’ve not been in there for several years. We’d sometimes go for a quick refreshment following a walk along the river or for Sunday lunch, til they went ‘upmarket’ and turned into a bit of a ‘gastro place’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 The Bromley Arms tearooms was where the Trent Valley Young Conservatives use to meet on a Monday night back in the ‘60’s. We weren’t remotely political, it was more of a social club for the 20 somethings in the surrounding villages. Afterwards we’d go into the pub when it was a ‘proper’ pub and not a fancy eating place.

katyjay 5,091 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Your Young Conservatives club sounded pretty much like ours, Woodborough Y.C's. The only time I remember anything political at any meeting, was Kenneth Clarke coming to give a talk. Other than that it was just a social club, car treasure hunts, parties, and I do remember a visit to the sugar beet factory. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I remember visits to the police HQ and the local AA head office. Most of the time it was just fun and games, parties and barn dances. Happy days of the 60’s! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is in a great spot, atop the flood wall, sitting outside looking over and along the Trent is very peaceful. Back in the day when I used to fish in Fiskerton a pint or two of Kimberley mild was very welcome at lunch time on a hot day. Not a gastro pub in those days, just a cheese and onion cob and a bag of crisps or a pickled egg or onion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 They give themselves the grand title of ‘gastro pubs’ but usually they serve reheated ready meals. I’ve often see the ‘Brakes’ van delivering to these establishments. The food is adequate but don’t be fooled into thinking that they employ a proper chef. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not much chance of catching any fish there, probably best to stay in the pub by the fire. I heard that the pub was closed. Has it been re-opened? I remember it as a Hardy Hansons Kimberley pub, the only mild ale I would drink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 The Bromley’s a Greene King Pub now and seems to be busy under its new management. I’ve not been in for 20 years. There’s no sandbags over the hump in the car park so far. The A612 is closed at Southwell and at Burton Joyce. The Trent is due to peak at 5.4M tomorrow at Colwick. Woodborough and Lambley are impassable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,187 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 No, it was just close to the station, that’s why it got its name. It was originally the Newcastle Arms. I go back to the days when there were 13/14 pubs in Southwell and it was as a challenge to have a pint in each one! I’ll try and make a list of those I can remember from the 60’s. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

letsavagoo 964 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 The Bramley Apple pub in Southwell has recently closed. I don’t know if it’s closed down or closed for a refurb. I think I’ve only been in twice, once many years ago and about 10 years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 The Grapes at Westhorpe The Lord Nelson at Westhorpe The Shoulder of Mutton The Reindeer The Crown The Saracen’s Head The Admiral Rodney The Plough The Newcastle Arms The Bramley Apple The Hearty Good Fellow The White Lion Thats 12. Some of the names have changed. Some have closed. Maybe only 9 now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 The first 3 are no more. The Plough is vacant. Letsav. Says the Bramley is closed and the White Lion is now The Old Coach House. I think the Bramley had a previous name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,086 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 PUBS closing or now closed GONE The Old General Radford rd now flats The Wheatsheaf now Mc Donalds but worst of all The Loggerheads Cliff Rd QE GONE maybe next KC (King Charles) At one time St Ann's Nottm had over 50 pubs but then in the 1960s the city council dramatically began the clearance of St Ann's /Meadows /and Radford. so RIP local pubs. Gone are almost 382 pubs from Nottm city centre. Gone A singsong around the Piano and a day trip to Skeg, Shippstone, Whitbread. Home Ales, Tennant's Mansfield. Brewerys all gone. Maybe more or wrong name of brewerys Good Times had by all it is the sign of the times, we cannot turn back the clock. Wait maybe if we get in touch with Dr Who we can travel back (would be nice) Most of my information came from Bygones memories of Nottingham A special edition of Nottm Evening post, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hardy Hansons Kimberley mild was the only mild I would drink. Coming from near Mansfield their bitter and Nut Brown Ale were often consumed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,187 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Shipstone’s was a very acquired taste. Some swore by it, others at it. I preferred Home Brew. The Newark beers, Holes and Warwick’s were disgusting. I suppose it was what you were weaned on that you chose to drink. I did try Shippo’s some years ago. It was brewed at the Old Dalby brewery near Melton, allegedly to the original recipe. It wasn’t special. I believe a micro brewery in Basford is now brewing it to the original recipe. I preferred the old days when the choice was either mild or bitter. Now there is an array of different beers across the bar and you’re offered a sample in a tasting glass. I’ve just remembered that the Bramley Apple pub in Southwell was formerly the George and Dragon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marrowman 34 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Hello Mary, here is a picture of Loggerheads mentioned in your post about closed pubs. Also an old image of the Fox and Grapes, Sneinton aka Pretty Windows. This pub is still going. It was infamous for the murder of George Wilson, trainee landord, who had taken his dog out for a late night walk after closing the pub for the evening in September 1963. I believe that the crime was never solved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
