Bip 88 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Passed by there today and was quite shocked to see the pub has been raised to the ground, the last time I passed by it was still standing but closed for business sadly another one gone for good. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dodie 51 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Saw a programme on TV last night showing South Notts Hussars being demolished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Passed there yesterday......it's still a derelict area. My Mum, who still lives in West Bridgford, say's that planning permission for the ' apartments ' had been denied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Gizz a clue , I remember the name well but where was it ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Top of Greythorne Drive/Loughborough Road, opposite Wilford Hill cemetery https://maps.google....=12,320.64,,0,0 It was still open for business in mid-2004 because I'd drive past it some evenings and see about 3 cars in the car park. Bet it was a real bundle of laughs inside. It must've closed not long after that; it stood empty for a couple of years and as an earlier post says, it was actually demolished in May 2007. Can't believe someone wanted to build apartments there. I thought they'd gone out of fashion now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's near Wilford Hill cemetery, top of Greythorn Drive, close to the roundabout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Sorry Cliff Ton, we posted at exactly the same time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 At least we both said the same thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Cheers I was mixing it up with The Nott'm Knight , I knew i wasn't that far off . I actually drove past there a few weeks back and wondered what had been there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just an update. I went past there today and noticed that the flats had finally been built. I mis-remembered it as 17th/21st Lancers but, of course, that was another closed pub on Castle Boulevard. I knew it was a regimental name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Turns out it's not actually flats, the large main building is a nursing home, and there are also a number of 4/5 bed houses alongside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Bloody nursing homes, that's all the ever build these days !!!!! Still, it's an increasingly needed facility, and good for the property developers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 What year spike '87? I got chatting to a girl in there,we'd been to the same funeral....we consoled each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SPIKEISLAND9 46 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I would have guessed a bit earlier Ian, although I`ve nothing really to go on. It was from my old, film type SLR, so no EXIF data available. Consoled? We`ll believe ya! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 One of a series of pubs by Home Ales, I believe the only one left is the Sherwood Ranger at Ravenshead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 3 bed semi's?.. Plot 1 was the tap room! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SPIKEISLAND9 46 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ian, ahv wokked it aht yoth - the latest reg. plate visible is `W` so it`s 1980 at the earliest. B.T. was privatised early 1984, that enabled me to buy the SLR. With the novelty and excitement, it didn`t take long for me to decide on a trip around the City at night, using available light. So, it has to be around late `84, 1985 at latest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Cheers spike you are a gent,that fiesta has a nice reg! SLR novelty..I remember the same!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRD 196 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 There's an A*** reg plate in the pic which was 1983 so 84/85 could be right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
