Historic Interest

The Blue Bell Inn was formerly a Home Ales tied pub. A solid Inter-war building in an "Estate Style", which until recently was sadly demeaned by Greene King's garish "Flaming Grill" exterior décor. The post-2018 refurbishment exterior is much more in keeping with its original look. Greene King also upset some locals by misnaming the pub the "Bluebell" after the flower rather than the original "Blue Bell", which has been a traditional Attenbourough pub-name since at least 1832, when the licensed victualler was one Henry Day (White's Directory). Fortunately, it has now reverted to "Blue Bell". Built on the site of an earlier fully licensed premises called the "Blue Bell". In the Alehouse Recognizances for the Broxtowe Hundred of 1823, the earlier pub was recorded as simply the "Bell", also under Henry Day. (Notts County Archive C/QD/LV/4/3/11). As at November 2017, the freehold for the Blue Bell (NT241904) was held by the Spirit Pub Company (Managed) Limited (Reg. No. 5269240), a Greene King subsidiary.
