Nottingham Pubs

By David Mooney

Nottingham has long been famed for its pubs. In the Middle Ages the city was already a prosperous center of trade for the East Midlands, and three of its pubs date from this era--Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, the Salutation, and The Bell Inn. The city continued to grow during the Industrial Revolution, attracting many new industries such as lace making, bicycle manufacture, and tobacco, and many new pubs were opened. The city continues to thrive and is today the largest city in the East Midlands. In Nottingham Pubs, author Dave Mooney takes the reader on a fascinating journey through some of the city's most interesting, oldest or most famous watering holes, following nine walks around different parts of Nottingham and nearby areas, including Kimberley, which was home to one of Britain's largest independent breweries until its closure in 2006. Many of the pubs have retained features and traditions of previous ages, and the variety of Nottingham's pubs today is revealed here, including the characters that have frequented or run the public houses, for which Nottingham is justly renowned.
