The Thurland Hall

The Thurland Hall is a listed pub in Nottingham featuring three storeys with stone details and a distinctive rounded corner topped by a lead dome. The interior includes a first-floor function room with ornamental cornicing and wooden bar fittings that date back to the early 1900s.

The building was constructed between 1898 and 1900 under the design of architect Gilbert Smith Doughty. It replaced an earlier hall that had been demolished around three decades before its construction began.

The name refers to an earlier hall that once occupied this spot before being torn down. Visitors can still see the original etched glass panels that have survived since the building was completed.

The pub is easily accessible by bus and near the Lace Market area, which is walkable from the city centre. The location makes it convenient to combine a visit with exploring nearby historic streets and shops.

The pub retains a lincrusta cornice, a decorative wall covering from the early 1900s that was a popular affordable alternative to plaster mouldings at the time. Few such original installations survive in working pubs today.
