A former Shipstones pub this estate pub is located by a busy roundabout, near to the former Babbington Colliery. Two distinct areas - one houses a lounge type layout, and another houses a pool table, dart board and a fruit machine. Karaoke is popular several times a week. Breakfast is served from 8.00am Mon-Sat.

Historic Interest

The pub building design seeks to emulate a colliery's headstocks, the towers on which the winding gear wheels were mounted.

The Babbington /Cinderhill Colliery shafts were sunk by Thomas North in 1841. The twin shafts became known as "Smoky" and "Windy" because North introduced a revolutionary furnace ventilation system to aid breathing underground. It became one of the most profitable pits in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield. Ironically, North died a bankrupt despite becoming Lord Mayor of Nottingham in 1844. The mine closed in 1986, freeing up land for development as the Phoenix Business Park [Nottingham Post].

[Nottingham City Council, Basford Ward / Nottingham North Parliamentary Constituency].
