mickety 1 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I recently carried out a survey on a large three storey corner property that had been turned into about eight student flats, the previous owner had sold it to the guy who asked for the survey, he is to revamp the flats for student use again. I soon discovered that this place was a former public house, outside urinals and unearthed the former skittle alley below an extension floor, the cellar area still had intact all the pumps and pipe runs for the barrels of nectar. This building is on Beauvale Road at the crossroad of Holgate Road and I would really like to know what the name of this pub was. Asked an elderly chap who lived local and he didnt even know it was a old watering hole! tee total no doubt. Any idea guys... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I remember it but, at that time I frequented the penny cake shop across the road! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 This would have been the Sherbrook. Walked past it every day on my way to school. Den. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 That sounds like the place. Google does not find it with sherbrooke + Nottingham (Yet) A picture would be good? Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickety 1 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks Den, been scratching my head with this one for a while. I normally do take pics Mick but its usually after remedial works, there is very little left of any resemblence to being a public house, it was converted to flats in 2001 and this is a complete refurb again. This link confirms the former name... http://plan4.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/WAM/pas...%2F00389%2FPDS4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRYCECLARE 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yes this was The Sherbrook , used to be one of the very best pint of Bass in the country, then ran by Fred Randall and his wife Mavis, they retired she has since died he lives in Blackpool, before it was altered the large best room had Tory supporters one side and labour the other, several ex Lord Mayors frequented it,especially Roland Green and there was many an argument. when Fred left it just went to pot and finally closed.

mick2me 3,033 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks Fae I think the Penny cake shop used to be on the right hand corner just out of view? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meadow Fae 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks FaeI think the Penny cake shop used to be on the right hand corner just out of view? There was a bakery on one corner and a baker/butcher type shop on the other corner. Inflation being what is is, in the early 80's your penny cake equated to a 12p iced bun, which we'd save from our dinner money so we could eat on the way home. Never lasted long, I grew up on Glapton Road, and it was usually gone by the time we got to there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 They sold yesterdays cakes for 1d for 3-4d you could fill yerself up, leaving the rest of yer shilling (1/-) 8d-9d for yerself. Usually spent on a Walls Strawberry Creamy Bar from the sweet shop near the 43 trolly bus terminus Trent Bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zab 47 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Been trying to remember the name of this pub for ages, my Dad occasionally went in there and I remember sitting in the back yard with orange juice and a pack of crisps.
