NOTTINGHAMSHIRE - Nottingham, Sherwood, Five Ways National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One Edwards Lane, Sherwood, Nottingham, NG5 3JD Tel: 0115 926 5612 Listed Status: Grade II An imposing road house of 1936-7 to the designs of A. E. Eberlin of Nottingham from Newark brewers, Warwick & Richardson. A stylish 'brewers' Tudor' exterior with limestone facing below and half-timbering above. The original plan has largely survived (minus the offsales area) and the pub has an excellent display of original furnishings. From the Edwards Lane entrance you enter a panelled corridor off which leads a smoke room on the right. This too has high panelling to create an olde worlde atmosphere; service through a hatch. The corridor serves as a drinking area and there are hatches to the servery. In the centre of the corridor is an expanded area in front of the garden entrance (it now leads to a post-War function room). The public bar (which takes in the offsales area) has some original seating and bar-back details. The lounge has a plastered ceiling with attractive details in its ornamental bands. A particularly attractive feature at this pub is the way the 1937 doors retain their lettering in the glass. The later function room has the strange, imported feature of cast-iron Victorian columns. |
