Apparently the Boat Inn featured in White’s directory in 1832. Originally the water used to make the beer was drawn from a well in the yard adjoining Priory Church's graveyard. However, following Lenton's incorporation into Nottingham in 1877 the authorities condemned the well because of its close proximity to the graveyard and the publican was forced to use tap water. Home Brewery eventually bought the pub in 1916. The inn, it seems, was remodelled in 1922/23 and again in the 1970s. The pub is situated in a cul de sac - to the right - and within a stone's throw of the A6005, a.k.a. Abbey Road in the opposite direction.
