Description: Drury Hill is the road to the right of the public house. This print is taken from 'City Sketches', published in 1898, and the description below the image reads as follows: 'The Postern Gate , at the top of Drury Hill, generally believed to mark the site of one of the old gates when this was a walled centre, is probably one of the oldest licensed houses in the city retaining most of its original characteristics. It is a quaint bit of the Nottingham of other days, that it has been selected as a subject for reproduction.' William Kiddier (1860-1934) was born at Loughborough but spent almost the whole of his life in Nottingham. He was an artist, poet, writer and businessman, owning an old established brush making business on South Parade, Nottingham. He painted in oils, chiefly landscapes, also black and white drawings. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and at Nottingham Castle Art Gallery. He was a founder member and the first president of 'the Atelier Society' Nottingham in the early 1890's which ultimately became the Nottingham Society of Artists.
