mick2me 3,033 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Is it under Martin Lacey's Hucknall zoo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
susyshoes 69 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 i remember that. It had vultures and alsorts in it. i think it got closed down as the animals werent treated too well. All became merged with the Blue Boar. What was the Blue boar's previous name? I seem to think it was something like Sherwood hotel? I went there for a meal in the very early 70s and i know it wasnt the Blue Boar then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ca't remember the Blue Boar's previous name but I used to go there occasionally as the BB. Pretty lively pace as I recall! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
