This Pub is Closed Long Term

Remarkable pub often described as a true country pub located in the heart of Sneinton. Whilst a 'small' pub it is blessed with a number of rooms connecting to a central bar. The secluded rear garden fenced with a high hedge is a must in good weather, very quiet for a suburban area. Hosts the Sneinton Festival on the last weekend in July.

Historic Interest

This former coaching inn was constructed from two seventeenth century cottages and was known for a time as Hornbuckles (Whitworth 2010).

Grade II listed building (No. 1270632).

The Lord Nelson has a heritage interior rated by CAMRA as being of Regional Importance. A passage from the garden leads to the main bar, small and square, with servery behind. Through an arch on the left is a snug whilst at the rear left is a snug bar with a small counter and separate street entrance. Finally comes a plain room on the right. Most fittings are from a refurbishment in the 1950s (www.heritagepubs.org.uk).

Cave cellars measure 8m x 4m and are referenced MNU 1081 with currently no BGS ref.].

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Originally farm cottages, this delightful building long predates the surrounding development. A passage from the garden leads to the main bar, small and square, with servery behind. Through an arch on the left is a snug whilst at the rear left is a snug bar with a small counter and separate street entrance. Finally comes a plain room on the right. Most fittings are from a refurbishment in the 1950s.

General information about historic pub interiors

Delightful cottage pub in the back-streets, originally farm cottages and pre-dating the surrounding development. An old building with genuine beams inside, and four small separate rooms, all about the same size. A passage from the garden leads to a main small square bar with the servery behind; on the left is a snug through an arch opening; rear-left through a doorway is a snug-bar with a small counter and entrance from Lord Nelson street; on the right is a plain food and family room. The pub seems to have been refurbished in the 1950s, and most fittings appear to be from this period: bar counters and shelving; two brick fireplaces (and the one in an inglenook is more likely to be inter-war); benches and panelled dados. The bar back is modern.
