Grassington Road: former beer-off
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 27 Aug 2010
This detached house on the corner of Grassington and Northdown Roads was, as the faded painted signs for Whitbread and Guinness show, once a corner off-licence (or beer-off, as Nottinghamians called them). In the High and Far-off Times, under-age drinkers could buy pint bottles of Shipstone's Nutbrown Ale to drink whilst idling away the evening on the street corner opposite.
