Lost Pubs and Licensed Bars

Workpeoples Inn

Sold & Closed Aug 2010

Quickest makeover seen. Opening 2011 a Tesco store.

The White Hart

Closed Nov 2009

Major rework through 2011 with planning permission for conversion into a shop front business plus several flats.

The Miners Arms

Believed originally being the pit managers residence that faced the old colliery and "Pit Row" housing, from which it gained familiar local reference long run by Mrs Yates. A successful makeover renamed it Godfreys, until dining extensions recalled The Miners. After several takeovers it finally closed Feb 2008, and last sold for private use.

White Lion

Locally known as the "Top End", it was sold 2002 after extending into a lively pub restaurant. Several managers reopened attempting pub food with shortening success, until boarded up again 2006 for its final standing closure. Purchased 2009 by Structural Fireproofing Systems ltd to serve main dealer offices after extensive renovations.

Shoulder of Mutton

Closure came 2002, ending the "Shoulders" claim being one of Huthwaites longest run pubs since first named on Hopkin Lane.   Building renovations has since built into a private club house suiting Ashfield Hells Angels, who may still invite a musical monthly open night.

Portland Arms

Appearing firstly called "The Gate", familiar renaming as the "Portland" honoured our titled Duked Manor Lords as the major landowners.   Sudden 2000 demolition lost this historic landmark on the old village border, once facing a windmill atop Mill Lane many years before our past Lyric.

New Hucknall Institute

Built by the New Hucknall Colliery company in 1893 for a £1000 with reading and function rooms.   The extended "Tute" suffered after the mines closure, standing derelict on Newcastle Street for some years before fire damage thwarted renovation attempts leading 1992 demolition.

White Swan

Generations before me do recall "Swan Yard" where games of horseshoe tossing were last seen played off Main Street.   A license transfer in 1956 opened some new Warsop pub, before fully demolishing yards atop a replacement Swanson Avenue housing scheme.

The Royal Oak

Those who recalled the old "Royal Oak yard" claimed naming was carved above a cottage doorway. Service is now found, listed 1894 where Thomas Thompson ran a beerhouse, plus a photo where just revealed on right it once stood aside the Shoulder before present Garage.

Billiard Hall

Identified in 1941 being run by Cooper and Hepworth. Their Billiards room was recalled by few lucky enough in youth affording entrance use of licensed premises. Full clearance sited busier Huthwaite plumbing supplies.

Clam´n Bost

Rooms beneath Huthwaite library have seen multiple uses through time.   Around 1960s it has been fondly recalled hosting many local dances. Called Clam´n Bost it also served alcohol for weddings and other parties.

Crown Inn

One among many Ernald Lakin photographs, he claimed this building known as Ellispool had before its demolition been called the "Crown Inn". Serving ale beyond living memories, this could tie William Hill with brief family brewing efforts when he recalling the Travellers Rest.
