The next time I go pubbing in Britain (been six times since 2002, over 1,000 different pubs) I'll make sure to include the Elwes Arms in our itinerary. My pubbing companion and I were discussing a return visit to Nottingham and that would fit right in. We've been to 28 different pubs in Nottingham, many now sadly gone, but never got around to Elwes.
1,000 pubs, some that no longer exist, wow! Did you take pictures? You've got the makings of book there. A modest seller, perhaps, but it would help pay for your next trip.
I did better than just take pictures. I've got a chronological slide show of all six trips which includes every pub. Sometimes one or two shots. For the great ones, Black Friar, Philharmonic, Haile's Bar, The George Inn at Norton St. Philip, numerous interior shots too. Along with the pubs the slide show has our hotels and places of interest like the Bovington Tank Museum, Cosford Air Museum, Duxford Air Museum, Falkirk Wheel (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel) etc. I also included shots of our numerous hikes. Up and down Pendle Hill, Helvelyn in a wind storm, rural Scottish countrysides. Well over 4,000 pictures.
No pictures of food or us however. I have only one photo of my travelling friend and myself in the whole set. Us standing against the "far" wall of the smallest pub in Britain, the Nutshell in Bury St. Edmonds. The entire pub is 15X7 including the bar and the space behind it. We just fit in the picture although the photographer stood back as far as he could.
