In The Nottingham Post yesterday, there was an article which said that the Council had asked for permission to demolish the old "Swinger Pub" (the one in avatar pic). The pub has been closed for years and is boarded up someone has tried to set fire to it a couple of times.

What a shame

If it has been closed for years, that makes your photo a little out of date with you in front of it

notts

used to live near there when it was called the forest.

the name "swinger" came about as the bus turn round that was at the side used to be the old tram/trolley bus terminus where the overhead cables used to finish, the tram driver used to go to the driving seat at the other end of the tram and the conductor would "swing" the overhead rail that connected the tram to the overhead cable in the opposite direction
