The Old Salutation

"The Salutation Inn competes with the Bell and the Trip as Nottingham's oldest ... The oldest surviving part is the three-bay NE range on Hounds Gate, jettied towards St Nicholas Street, probably C16 ... The St Nicholas Street frontage incorporates an C18 brick dwelling one room deep" (Elain Harwood in the Pevsner Architectural Guide to the city). The planning committees of the 1950s, who allowed Maid Marian Way to cut through this part of the historic centre, thought the tower in the background, which abuts Newdigate House, a good idea. The sky was bright on a sunny February afternoon.
