Neighbours on the border of Aspley and Old Basford have reminisced about an old pub in the area that has been closed for several years. The Newcastle Arms in Nuthall Road closed several years ago, and owners Star Pubs and Bars have placed a sign outside advertising that the pub is available to lease, and that a refurbishment is planned.
People in the area said the pub has had many different owners over the years and they'd like it to reopen. Retired Stephan Mann, 60, who lives in Old Basford, said: “I used to drink here all the time.
“It started off as a good pub and then it just went through so many different owners it was hard to keep track but it could be a good pub again if it’s done-up correctly.”
