Vine Inn, Nottingham

A Victorian former Home Ales pub, the Vine Inn is one of the last surviving street corner pubs in St. Ann's / Sneinton, having survived the post WWII clearances in the area.

The Vine Inn is in Nottingham City Council's Sneinton Market Conservation Area.

A three-storey public house, probably built 1850s with the main door to “lounge” on a curved aspect facing the junction of Liverpool Street and Handel Street, with a large vine mural sign above the door. Brick with white stucco finish, slate roof. “Bar” door on Liverpool Street.

One bricked-up third floor window on Liverpool Street. Some original sash windows and window frames to upper floors. First floor windows have stone heads denticulated on the underside and supported by small scrolls. Chimneys capped.
