Turners, Nottingham

Ironically, despite its recent name as the New Carrington Inn, Turners is one of the older pubs on the Mansfield Road. Opened in 1835 by local farmer Thomas Beasley as the New Inn, it became part of the Carrington Brewery until it was acquired by James Shipstone in 1898 (www.ournottinghamshire.org.uk).

A three-storey pub, brick built with slate roof. The building features historic timber sash windows, twentieth century casements, a Bulwell stone wall and veranda. A rare survivor of the original Carrington area that was developed from the 1820s as an aspirational working class residential district. Along with places such as New Radford and New Lenton it was a satellite district to Nottingham, which at that time was prohibited from building upon its neighbouring fields until 1845. It therefore charts the evolution of the city’s urban development.

In 1881 it was a fully licensed establishment under Samuel F. Hooton and was known as the New Inn (Wright). It retained this name until recently, when it became known as Rosie O'Briens before becoming the New Carrington Inn.

At one time a Shipstone's house.

Turner's has an entry on Nottingham's Local Heritage List as Heritage Asset HA292. (Previously, the New Carrington Inn had an entry on Nottingham Civic Society's Draft Local Heritage List (09 December 2013)).

As at November 2017, the freehold for Turners (NT349505) was held by Ei Group plc (Reg No 2562808), formerly known as Enterprise Inns.
