Lost Pubs and Licensed Bars

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, recently 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.

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 did recall the old stone "Royal Oak" building remembered naming carved above a cottage doorway. Elusive service is now found listed 1894, where Thomas Thompson ran a beerhouse. These older yards may well have housed Huthwaites earliest alehouse, replaced by a Garage aside the Shoulder on Blackwell Road.

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 served alcohol also for parties and wedding receptions.

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.

Crown Inn

Among many of Ernald Lakin photographs he claimed this building known as Ellispool had before its demolition been called the "Crown Inn". Once serving ale beyond living memories, this could tie one owners brief family brewing efforts recalling the Travellers Rest by Mr Hill.
