Gedling Eye readers had plenty of suggestions last week as we asked them which long-gone pub they would bring back on our Facebook page.
Whether its infamous nights out with friends, special sports matches watched in crowded bars or a regular venue for family parties, many of us have fond recollections of some of our borough boozers that are sadly no more.
And our readers are no different, as we were inundated with suggestions as to which of their old haunts they missed the most.
One which was included in several people’s recommendations was the Westdale Tavern.
The pub on Westdale Lane was a popular destination for decades, but finally closed its doors on April 24, 2017 and is now the site of a Co-op.
Another favourite was The Grey Goose, which featured in several people’s comments and was known locally as The Mucky Duck
The pub opened in the early 50s and shut its doors for the final time on October 21, 2010. Gedling Village Care Home was built on the site after the pub was demolished.
Martin Malinski was one of the who would like to bring the Mucky Duck pub back from the dead.
He said: “From the 70s onwards it had great discos, great live music and was a proper pub.”
Helen Richards posted: “I still miss the Grey Goose.”
Another popular comment was for the Windsor Castle to make a return.
The pub closed in 2010 and stood empty for many years before being demolished by Tesco, who have a supermarket next to the old pub site.
There had been as pub of this name on the site since 1806.
Alan Renwick posted: “I miss the old Windsor. I’d have a few in here then head up to the Bruno and then the Nags Head.”
Kenny Hopewell called for the return of the Maid Marion pub on Coppice Road in Arnold.
Jill Lockwood also had good memories of the same pub. She wrote: “They had some of the best Friday Country and Western nights around. Wild Bill was one of my favourites.
There were also mentions for the Cavendish, The Bruno, Carlton Hotel and The Porchester. However, some simply said “All of them.”
Dave Wallis said: I’d bring back Cavo, Ganders, Porchester, Bruno, Carlton Hotel and Victoria Tavern because that was my pub run in the 80s.”
