Derby Turn, Burton On Trent Town, Burton on Trent

The Derby Turn as it was called never had Inn at the end of its name was a large estate type pub that was situated on a prominent corner. The pub was a Bass tied house when i visited it,there were a couple of rooms inside,with a large bar where i had a drink and a smarter lounge. There were no real ales on the bar so it was a drink of keg Worthington Bitter. The locals of this pub claimed it was the hardest pub in Burton and it did have a reputation for trouble,but they came unstuck when they played a pool game against the Deerstalker from Bestwood Nottingham,the Deerstalker team went down for trouble and ended up taking the pub over and kicking the Derby Turns hard men out.
