NOTTINGHAM PAST & PRESENT: OLD INNS
THE TRENT BRIDGE INN, 1885
Trent Bridge Inn was acquired together with adjoining land by the Notts. County Cricket Club. It has been re-constructed and is still a well-known feature of the road side at the corner of the celebrated Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. This cricket ground, which is over seven acres in extent, is classic, for upon its greensward have appeared all the great cricketers ever since modern cricket existed, and from it George Parr made the mighty hit over the elm tree which has ever since borne his name.
