Does anybody remember the Horse and Groom that used to be in a courtyard at the corner of Wheeler gate and St.Peters Gate ?

I worked there for a while in 1966.

Good pub but lousy ale.

"Shipos"

A good, honest pint was Shippo's Here's an anagram for you:

Shipstones = honest p1$$

Ayup! the flipping forum thingy has changed my anagram into one dollar dollar :o(

I remember the Horse and Groom on Wheeler Gate as I used to go there a bit in the late 1970s. My main memories of it include going there on a pub crawl for my 21st and having a pint glass of mixed spirits thrust into my hand to drink by the assembled throng. I managed to pass that one on and live to tell the tale though. My other main memory is of entering the pub by going up an alleyway to a large rear bar.

1970s/80s?

re anagrams, someone I knew had a habit of arranging the "beer clothes" on the bar so as to cover certain letters in SHIPSTONES to annoy the landlady at The Fox and Crown Old Basford!

Looks like you got Filtered Compo

H&G should have done well in theory as it was in the 'pub walk' but closed

down many years ago.

Re the beer towel folding?

SHI_T_S ?

There was another "Horse & Groom" it was at the corner of Parliament Street & Glumber Street it became "The Corner Pin"

This is on a map dated 1881

"The Fountain" on Bridlesmith Gate, quite popular with the Mods in the sixties

As mentioned earlier in the thread, I quite miss this place. I know it's still there in a different incarnation but it's horrible now. Happy days of popping over to the 'Tav' and 'Mort's' from Trent Poly.

Quite liked this one too (amongst many other!)

The lost pubs of Nottingham

[Compo 10,328]

The Exchange had that reputation (I won't go into details but there was a big kick off in there Christmas 79 !!)

It certainly wasn't gay in 1971 when I was propositioned by a lady of the night. - she had a great chest but I was waiting for my wife at the time :o(

[Compo 10,328]

Is the Hand & Heart still on Derby road? Had a room cut into the sandstone at the back.

[denshaw 2,871]

Yes still there.

[.... 23]

The Hand and Heart goes from strength to strength these days. It did close for a little while at one time.

The cave at the back is now mainly a restaurant. They also have a pub quiz in there once a week - 'The Quiz in the Cave' - sounds a good idea for a Nottstalgia meet!

[mick2me 3,033]

I'll second that.

[Beefsteak 305]

HHHHHMMMM!!! Oh go on then , What night of the week is it ?

[.... 23]

I've never done it but I think it's on Monday nights.

[Beefsteak 305]

All being well I'm over from 3rd June (Kev and Martines wedding) till Thursday 7th, unfortunately it's SWMBOs birthday on the Monday and she's a bit reluctant to be going to a 'pub quiz' on her birthday, leave it with me , I'll talk her round !!

After church on summer Sundays in the late 50s/early 60s, about once per month, my father used to take us to the White Hart on Mansfield Road, Redhill. He would sit us outside in the old stable area with a glass of pop whilst he had a pint of Guinness in the bar. It was always something to look forward to. We used to alternate, one Sunday we would walk up to Ravenswood road and visit my dreaded maternal grandma and the next we would have my maternal grandma for tea.

Despite this being over 50 years ago, I still miss the old White Hart.

[.... 23]

You didn't mean the Waggon & Horses at Redhill with the stable did you Compo? There used to be a stable there where kids would play.

I'm not quite old enough to remember the original White Hart - which was (marginally) in Daybrook though used to use its successor (which is now a huge pile of rubble).

[Compo 10,328]

No Stu, I mean the White Hart at the bottom of Oxclose lane. There was a farm behind the pub that might have originally been linked when it was a coaching inn many moons ago. There was an archway through to the yard with a side entrance door. I shall have to take a look at Picture the Past and see if I can spot it.

[Compo 10,328]

I used to have the occasional drink in the "Waggon" but my father used to go to the "Ram Inn" every Thursday evening with his pals and play cribbage over a few pints. He always brought crisps back for we kids.

[Compo 10,328]

Below: See the phone box at the bottom of Oxclose Lane? I spent many an hour phoning a girlfriend from that box. It was in there that she told me over the phone that I was dumped.

Below: the White Hart is the half-timbered building on the right of the photo:

I can't believe that Picture the Past has no pictures of the Nell Gwynne pub on Oxlcose Lane! It had such a distinctive illuminated sign. One of my mother's friends complained to the council about the image on the sign being pornographic!

[.... 23]

I can only just remember the older pub. The main thing I remember is that it was right up close to the road, as pictured. On the second pic you can see the newly constructed replacement White Hart in the land behind the original pub. We have the White Hart featured in a thread somewhere on here.

Do you remember the gated road that went straight up to Bestwood Lodge just up the road? The old gatepost is still there. Apparently the large mock tudor style house next to it was a toll house I'm told.

Remember these shops across the road?
