Double Top, Chilwell

A former Home Ales pub, the Double Top opened in February 1969. "The building feels like a very pared-down version of the Wheelhouse by Cecil Howitt and Partners, who are the most likely architects. It adjoined a petrol filling station, recently demolished for flats, and there is a new tram stop close by (opened in late 2015) that is likely to bring further changes to the area. When the building opened there was a mural of a dartboard on the concave façade by the entrance, and there was a dartboard on the pub sign on the original pub sign as well as the present one."
