Historic Interest
Built as a pub in 1853, has previously been a Shipstones and Greenall's tie. Formerly the gents toilets were open air.
By 1864, the Falcon Inn was a fully licensed establishment under victualler J. Hickling (Wright).
The Falcon Inn has a place on the Nottingham Local Heritage List HA4 (and formerly Nottingham Civic Society's Draft Heritage List (09 December 2013)), which notes that alterations were made to the Victorian building by WB Starr & Hall in 1919 for J. Shipstone & Sons and comments upon the green striped faience and fine porch.
The Falcon Inn is in Nottingham City Council's Canning Circus Conservation Area.
The cave cellar measures 8m x 9m and includes a ventilation shaft. [Referenced MNU 63 and BGS Ca1].
As at November 2017, Land Registry records showed the freehold (NT341772) of the Falcon to be held by Westerby Trustee Services Limited (Reg. No. 256294) of Leicester.

Small bar with tiled floor and old benches. Snug off. What remains is too fragmentary for RI. Servery is completely modernised. Small Victorian pub with interwar alterations. Good corner frontage with green and beige striped faience. Good old etched windows. Plain corner bar with red-tiled floor and old slotted benches; the bar counter also has slotted panels, but may be more modern. On the right is a cosy separate snug with benches all round, 'beamed' ceiling, and (postwar?) fireplace. (SP – 03/06)
