FLY2 10,108 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 The News House. One of the worst beers in Nottingham. Home Ales I think. I seem to remember that they sold Irish cigarettes there. Sweet Afton I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is now the Roebuck used to have rolls & rolls of carpet stacked outside late 70s early 80s. Remember the rolls of carpet also..there was also a period with stalls selling tie dye t-shirts, & head shop paraphernalia about 1986. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 807 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Another pub i remember when i went on the C5 to Alfreton was the Black Horse i think it was on Cordy Lane Brinsley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I lived in Brinsley for some years but don't remember The Black Horse. There was a pub called The Yew Tree on Cordy Lane. Now closed. There was The White Lion on Hall Lane. Still there. Brinsley Lodge, also still there. I believe that, during the days when the pit was in operation, there were many pubs in the village. Most closed when the pit did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 There used to be a pub on the right hand side coming from Eastwood just before Brinsley, had a bit of a layby in front of it tho' I suspect originally the road went right past the front door. Don't know it's name It was up for sale for redevelopment around 12 - 15years ago, one of my Son's looked at buying it, but found a better deal elsewhere. Whoever bought it demolished it and rebuilt a house on roughly the same footprint. The other new house closer to Eastwood was built later. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Brinsley,+Nottingham/@53.0300074,-1.3090236,127a,35y,14.86h,45t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487993527a482535:0xb2978837da1db821!8m2!3d53.033855!4d-1.312842 https://www.google.com/maps/@53.0308931,-1.30873,3a,75y,37.52h,97.76t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sanOpU1zXlxBw4EKnCN7OUg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Forget all that, it was the NEW INN; https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/nottinghamshire/brinsley_newinn.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I remember that building and knew a local chap who would now be in his 90s who was born there. The buildings in that area gave the appearance of leaning backwards, possibly due to subsidence. I noted a while ago that they had been demolished and the sites rebuilt. There was also The Robin Hood on Hall Lane which is now, apparently, a private dwelling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 It looked like it had been empty a while when we looked around it. Son / Daughter in law wanted to keep the old building and convert it to a house, I think it had planning for 2 semi's but it's only got a single dwelling on it. They ended up buying an old farm in Northumberland instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 807 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think when i went by this building on the bus to school it was a small co.op or small grocery shop,a friend of from school Roger Taylor whose family had a farm there i would help them with the harvest.The Yew Tree is on the main road heading towards Underwood the Black Horse if my old brain is still working ok is at the far end of Cordy Lane heading towards Underwood Hill but like you say its closed down just like the pits.

mary1947 2,079 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 The Yew Tree on Cordy Lane went to an Indian Restaurant never did take off, i think it now back tp being a house, Underwood was at one time Brick n Tile then Ma Hubbards now pulled down and oap bungalows.

The Pianoman 1,532 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 The former Yew Tree has also been in the news recently for its use as a weed growing factory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
