The Holly Bush Inn at Salt.

I know it did but I assumed you would have known of another drinking establishment in that area even when you were just four

Was there not some sort of legal difficulty around the issuing of a licence to Worston Mill - related to some sort of covenant precluding a licenced premises in Great Bridgeford?

It may have only applied to the land where the 'new estate' was built, and the Mill was far enough away to escape, anyway, being in Little Bridgeford, too.

I can't remember that but don't doubt it.
I certainly don't think there was ever a pub in Great Bridgeford, maybe for similar reasons to there not being in Ilam or Bourneville or the Dog and doublet not opening on Sundays.
Apart from that licensing justices tended to limit the number of new licenses at the time Worston Mill opened.

Nipped in for dinner this evening. Place is fresher and cosier and the menu has something for all. Prices comparable and staff friendly. Feels far more mainstream than it did before but a nice time had by all.
