The Raven Inn is on Rawson Street, immediately behind Shipstone's Brewery. Home Brewery, in Daybrook, was Shipstone's main rival. These painted Home Ales signs (and ones for Apollo Mineral Waters) were once a familiar sight on Home Brewery tied houses and off-licences ("beer-off" in Nottingham-speak).
