The Little Acorn, Ilkeston

When i first visited this pub in the early 80s it was called the New Ponderosa and it was a Manns tied house which was unusuall in this area of Derbyshire. The pub is now called the Little Acorn,once inside the pub still has the same two room layout with the bar to the left and a smaller room to the right,i had a drink in the bar and this was very busy on a midweek afternoon. There were a couple of real ales on the bar and i had a drink of Alcazar Ale and this was a very nice drink which was also very cheap the other beer was Alcazar New Dawn. Alcazar beers are very hard to find away from the pub where it is brewed in Basford Nottingham so this was a nice surprise to see these beers in Ilkeston. Pub visited August 2009 Photo taken 24/7/2001
