Description: This picture was reproduced in 'City sketches' on 9 June 1898. The Inn was demolished in 1911. It was earlier called the Bull's Head. Postern was another term for a gate. In making alterations to this inn in 1875 a portion of the old gatehouse was exposed and when the inn was pulled down a sharp look-out was kept and the ground plan of the ancient building was recovered and details of it were published by Mr. Dobson in the Transactions of the Thoroton Society for 1912. It appears to have been a roughly squared building 17ft. by 19ft. (information from www.nottshistory.org.uk) 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.
