My name is Bob Oakley and I am currently owner operator of the business although the freehold of the property is owned by a private property investor who, like myself is keen to keep this traditional pub open. I have been here for four years and continue to see the pub through difficult times. We have kept the traditional interior of the pub which is it's main attraction. We have entertainment most Saturdays and you can keep updated via facebook or at www.bridgeinncotmanhay.co.uk

The Bridge Inn is next to the Erewash canal and it is a decent looking pub that is in a grim area of Ilkeston.
When i first visited this pub in 1980 it was a Kimberley tied house.
Once inside there are a few different rooms and i had a drink in the bar which was quite a nice room,there were two real ales on here i had a drink of Kimberley mild and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Kimberley bitter.
This pub is now a Greene King tied house.
This is one of the better pubs in the cotmanhay area of Ilkeston.
