The Test Match
The rather undramatic exterior of this pub makes one wonder why it has been awarded the accolade of Grade II* listing. Part of the citation from the English Heritage listing makes it clear why:
"A highly distinctive public house of the 1930's and an early example of public house 'theming'. This was the first public house licensed in West Bridgford in the twentieth century and much expense was undertaken to develop a high-quality, well-fitted establishment. The near- complete survival of the 1930s plan and accompanying fittings is now extremely rare."
The classic Art-Deco interior is well worth the visit, even if sadly the distinctive Kimberley Ales are now a thing of the past.

West Bridgford road names
An information panel at Gordon Square showing roads in the area named by Sir Horatio Davies after family members and friends. Ethel, Florence, Violet, Blake, Mabel and Cyril were six of his children, and his friends included the Dukes of Cambridge and Devonshire, the Earls of Oxford and Tavistock and Lord Burleigh. Apparently members of the family continued to sit on the board responsible for the naming of local roads until Local Government reorganisation in the 1960s.
