replied on: 11/15/2006 10:44:25 PM From Wrights 25 Miles around Nottingham 1888 Wardle Wm, farmer and victualler, Butchers Arms. I have just been looking at the place via local.live.com. What is now the carpark used to be waste ground with jitties onto Hands Road and Holbrook Street (early 60s). I can dig out a few more dates and landlords when I get a bit more free time. regards Phil |

replied on: 11/16/2006 7:45:35 AM Philfred Interesting the occupier being a Wardle in 1888 - see the reference to Wardles in the Red Hill Farm thread in the Langley subject area - I have no doubt that these two will in some way have been connected. Porkpiebaby It's hard to know what I want to know about anything, until I know it! Anything and everything is a good, if not very useful, answer! What do the present occupants know about the history of the pub? Do they have access to any old photographs or documents relating to the building? Is there anything of specific interest in the building, and, if so, would they be prepared to let anyone come and see it? (for example, what are the cellars like?) Would they be happy for someone (me) to come and take photographs in the building (and not just the public parts)? Do we know why it is a listed building? |

replied on: 11/16/2006 10:19:48 AM Welcome to the site Gemma, good to have you on board. Robert, I always expect cellar steps to be old worn stone, but the ones at the Butchers must have been fairly easily removable at one time!!!!! R&H 15 Jan 1918 "A most singular accident ocurred at the Butchers Arms, Langley, last Friday afternoon, when a horse was accidentally precipitated into the cellar at the rear of the premises.Some barrels of ale were being lowered into the cellar, when one got jammed, and to release it one of the horses was attached by chains. Instead of pulling, the horse backed and before the men in charge could save the animal it fell into the cellar. Fortunately it took kindly to its new quarters and remained perfectly quiet, until the following day, when in order to rescue the animal the steps had to be removed, and a slanting path made up the yard, by which the imprisoned horse was able to walk out, no worse for its adventure." |

replied on: 11/17/2006 9:38:16 AM We've got a lovely big old photo up in the pub that was taken years ago. Must be a thing about horses in that pub! One of the old landlords (Pete Thexton) once bet a guy in the pub that a horse wouldn't fit in the tap room - so he went and fetched his daughters horse and sure enough it fit!! Then a few months ago I'd got my horse out of the field and needed to grab my Mum's attention so headed towards the pub. As I got near the door Meg shoved me out the way and headed indoors! Luckily I managed to stop her as she's only a baby and a little loopy!!! The pub much give off equine ferimones!!! |
