Apollo Pub Bulwell.... under demolition


Recommended Posts

Hi all... Passed by the Apollo pub near Morrisons , Bulwell yesterday morning... its just a shell... and I suspect a pile of rubble within a few days.

I only went in a couple of times many years ago...not the most welcoming place but the building itself was imposing,

Oh well... another link to the past ends up as hardcore.

Thanks Bubblewrap.

I see two two other pubs on that page that have now been sold.

'Ponderosa' Clifton Bridge Inn

and Credo's Long Eaton, which IMO is a dump!

But did this not used to be a Bernie Inn?

Another watering venue from the past gone.

Apart from being my local- it made as a fairly OK pit stop on a 'bat 'round..

The MK2 cortina with twin webers and obligitary corsair springs would start at The Yew Tree in Hucknall-

Blue Boar.

Swingers.

Apollo.

Newstead Abbey.

Three Crowns.

Monkeys ...finish in Golden Ball.

Highbury Vale chippy ( opposite blood rooms).

Home for an episode of Firehouse or Baretta.
