Spinning Jenny, Meadows, Nottingham

The Spinning Jenny was a typical estate pub that was built around the same time as the housing around it in the new redeveloped area of the meadows. Once inside there was a fairly basic bar and a smarter lounge,the pub was a Shipstones tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Shipstones bitter and this was quite a nice drink the other beer was Shipstones mild. Over the years the pub gained a bit of a rough reputation so the police moved in and turned the pub into a police station. Pub first visited 14/1/1983 Photo taken 15/12/1994
