The Thurland Hall, Nottingham

Impressive Victorian pub with a shabby but still orpulant interior, the windows, architrave, central iron column, ceiling are particularly note worthy. Some bench seating remains but it’s mostly tables and chairs of various heights. The counter may be original but it’s fairly plain, the bar back is neat though, the counter is home to three T-Bars of mundane kegs. Loads of screens showing cricket and horse racing, very suitable for the lunchtime clientele which was definitely at the old codger end of the scale, hence the lager and smooth I guess.

An attractive looking corner pub. Sadly the interior is a bit of a let down and the fact that there was no real ale was a disappointment too. Basically its a square box. A bit rougher than the other pubs I visited and its not one I'd be back to next time I'm in Nottingham.
