The Norfolk Hotel (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F1wz5278t) was a popular corner pub located at 68 London Road (at the junction with Crocus Street) in The Meadows area of Nottingham.

History & Local Legacy
• The Brewery: The pub was a tied house for Home Ales, a famous regional brewery based in Daybrook, Nottinghamshire. The green and red signage in the photo displays the distinct branding of the brewery. [1] (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/31008/)
• Community Hub: It was highly popular with football fans as a regular match-day stop for both Nottingham Forest and Notts County supporters due to its close proximity to Meadow Lane and the City Ground. It also featured a rare indoor long alley skittles set up in the back. [1] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/20722646442/posts/10158169285326443/), [2] (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/31008/)
• Demolition: After surviving the massive "Meadows slum clearances" of the late 1970s, the pub struggled on until the mid-2000s. The building was finally demolished around 2007. [1] (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/31008/)
The site later operated as a hand car wash. However, the surrounding derelict area and adjacent Victorian warehouse are undergoing a complete transformation following approved council plans by the Cassidy Group to build a modern student accommodation block.
