A 1970's replacement for the nearby Victorian pub of the same name on Kirke White Street and demolished in 1975. (Whitworth 2010).

The Victorian pub took it's name from the street, which in turn was named after the once famous Nottingham poet, Henry Kirke White (1785 - 1806). The son of a Nottingham butcher, his best known work was "Clifton Grove". White died tragically young of consumption.

Built in 1977 for Home Brewery. It was part of a shopping precinct, with arched windows to the ground floor giving the building a fort-like appearance. The building was agreed by an exchange of land with the Estates and Housing Committees of Nottingham City Council on 18 October and 6 December 1973, which also granted land in Bagnall Road for the Headstocks.
