There's a long way to go but work is underway to transform a former Indian restaurant into a 'London-style Victorian pub'. The William Gunn will be opening in the former Delhi Nights, in Radcliffe Road, West Bridgford, opposite Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
The name pays homage to one of Nottingham's most prolific sportsmen William Gunn, who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club from 1880 to 1904 and represented England in 11 test matches. He played football for Nottingham Forest, Notts County and England. He also co-founded the international cricket equipment brand Gunn and Moore.
Tom Holodynsky and Owen Roach are behind the new venue opposite Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. The duo already operate the successful city centre venues, Southbank City and The 1998 Club, as well as managing bars in the West Bridgford area for over 20 years.
