littlebro 234 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 An image of an old Nottinghamshire pub, but where was it? The only clue: The name still exists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 With the road layout/housing it looks like the original Marquis of Granby, at Granby. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Would that be this one then:- So is the current pub not on the same site with bits of the old building still remaining:- Sounds like a good pub with some good beers, it must be 35 years since I've been in there. Looking at it again and comparing the photos, especially the first one, with Littlebro's original, it doesn't look like the same building at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wonder what those wall plaques are just above the schoolboys head? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Those plaques are intrigueing Poohbear, what could they be? I've been trying to make out the landlords name Edward C????? Walker, the place looks to be at the bottom of a hill, isn't Granby pretty flat, looking at the vehicles, possibly immediately post WW1, which may explain the lack of people around, most of the males were still being dug out of the mud near the Somme at that time. Perhaps thats what those plaques were all about, memorials to locals who never came back for a pint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Licensed Victualler so a managed rather than tennanted pub. How unusual was that for a rural boozer in the 1920s? And as an aside. Whatever became of Nottingham Licensed Victuallers Association? Their spokesman was always being quoted in the Post over some matter or another, but I've not seen a mention of that organisation for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlebro 234 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Not the Marquis of Granby, way too far out of town. Date is probably 1930ish. There is a pub sign hanging in the tree, not much help though. The pub name is painted on the wall but I have masked it out. See the truck, where have you seen that before?

littlebro 234 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 charlton or the carpenters at dale abbey? Ok Hippo Girl, I cannot think of any more clues so I will give it you, Charlton Arms, Chilwell. The reason I have the image in the family vault is the truck, not the pub, the Model TT belonged to the family, see my avatar. The junction is School Lane & High Road Chilwell. I think every building has now been replaced and the road is of course much wider. I do not know what the plaques are, one may be an insurance shield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
