Great Art Deco Pub/Resaturant
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco at 12:00 on 1 February 2016
After Oakham we travelled north and passed through Nottingham where I spotted The Crown as I was driving past. I had to stop and photograph it. Stunning.
Side view from north:-
From north-east. Windows, chimney, exterior walling, all superb. If the windows have been replaced it’s been done sensitively. Pity about the grafitti on the wall, though:-
From South-east:-
Rear of building. Nice to see the Art Deco elements extend all the way round, even if the extension’s a bit iffy:-
Detail showing Crown emblem at front:-
This view mostly avoided the lamp-post obscuring the building:-

It’s gorgeous, Jack! You must have thought you died and gone to heaven when you spotted this one. Did you go in and have lunch?

Peggy,
Sadly we’d already eaten at Oakham. It was in the evening and we didn’t make our overnight stop on the way back north till after dark.
I’ll keep it in mind if we’re ever back in the Nottingham area.
