The Wheatsheaf Inn Ilkeston Road

The Wheatsheaf Inn Ilkeston Road Nottingham NG7 3GQ
Stumbling about Area 4 with a camera on a sunny morning in mid April I was dismayed to note that the Wheatsheaf on Ilkeston Road is no more. I have fond memories of the place from visiting student friends in the area in the 90’s. The Wheatsheaf felt out of step even then so I guess that time coupled with the smoking ban in pubs caught up with it.

Looking at the photo I took this morning I am surprised that anyone could see the pub’s entrance with all of the council signage outside the front door!
