'We’ve admitted defeat': Historic Nottingham pub closes after nearly 100 years due to ‘losing too much money’
The pub opened in the 1930s
A Nottingham pub is set to close after nearly 100 years after its owners admitted that it was “losing too much money”.
The Plough Inn, in St Peter’s Street, Radford, has now shut its doors after nearly a century of operating.
In a statement posted on social media yesterday (October 22), the pub’s landlord said: “It is with great sadness that we have admitted defeat and the Plough Inn has now closed its doors.
“The hospitality industry is seeing substantial challenges with high energy bills, taxes and employment costs.
“We have suffered all those costs and unfortunately the pub is losing too much money to carry on.
“Thank you to all of our loyal customers over the years and we hope you continue to enjoy Nottingham Brewery beers in other local pubs.”
The Plough was run by Nottingham Brewery, which operates from the back of the pub.
The current pub building opened in 1932, and was registered as an Asset of Community Value in May 2016.
