The Old Angel Inn is a Grade II listed public house in the Lace Market, Nottingham.
History
[edit | edit source]A public house called the Old Angel has existed in the Lace Market area of Nottingham since around 1600. Until the middle of the 19th century, a half-timbered house also known as The Old Angel, existed at the junction of High Pavement and St Mary's Gate.[2]
Originally 2 houses, the current public house building dates from around 1800. In 1878, the landlord W Robinson employed Lawrence Bright to make alterations, and 5 years later, in 1883, the landlord J Robinson made further alterations under the architect H Walker.
In 1911, Horace Shears, cellarman, pleaded guilty to stealing five bottles of whisky, two bottles of gin, one bottle of sherry, and some towels and handkerchiefs to the value of £3[3] (equivalent to £386 in 2023).[4] He was sent to prison for 2 months.
In the 1980s the pub developed a reputation as a rock and roll venue, with the old chapel on the 1st floor converted into a performance area. Many up and coming bands played here including Oasis, Kasabian and the Arctic Monkeys.
In 2016 it reinvented itself as an organic gastro pub.[5]
