wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Olde_Trip_to_Jerusalem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Olde_Trip_to_Jerusalem - crappy pics
Pub's page https://www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pubs/nottinghamshire/ye-olde-trip-to-jerusalem/ https://www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pubs/nottinghamshire/ye-ol... - is shite. The uneven flagstones (walking on them was like being at sea) seem gone, so are all the currency notes people would stick on walls. Basically they've stripped it of its character. And no pics of the sandstone. Sigh, they've destroyed half of what made it.
- kitd 4y agoEven when I was a student there in the 1980s, it had rather sold out to the tourist industry and wasn't frequented much by locals. However, if you asked nicely, the landlord would allow you to go down into the cellars which are cavernous and were apparently used in the Middle Ages to harbour Jewish people under threat from persecution.
