Thanks to everyone for the great response to my new Nottingham Art Deco Pubs talk – it seems the combo of fine ales and pub history is a winning one!
I will be giving the talk, which is fully illustrated with photos, again at The Vat & Fiddle, Queensbridge Road (very handy for Nottingham Railway Station) on Tuesday 19 August, doors 6.30 pm, the bar will be open. Talk starts 7.30 pm and the pub closes at 9 pm.
Tickets are £10 each and are available here or there are a limited number available at The Vat & Fiddle if you wish to pay cash.
Info on the talk: Architecture Historian and Tour Guide Lucy Brouwer (creator of The Watson Fothergill Walk) will take us on an entertaining and informative virtual tour of Nottingham’s Art Deco Pubs. This illustrated talk will uncover the local architects who designed many of the pubs in Nottingham and the surrounding suburbs in the 1920s and 1930s, explore the concept of the Improved Pub, and examine trends in pub design during the inter-war years. Featuring the work of architects WB Starr & Hall, AE Eberlin, TC Howitt and more and including pubs such as The Grove (now The Vat & Fiddle), The Vale, The Wolds and The Test Match Hotel among many others.
See you there!
