Thurland Hall Public House

Thurland Hall Public House is a public house built between 1898 and 1900 by G.S. Doughty of Nottingham for Levy & Franks. It was restored around 1990. The building features ashlar with ashlar dressings and has lead and slate roofs, with pink granite bases to the pilasters. Designed in the Renaissance Revival style, it stands three storeys plus attics and has a total of 20 windows arranged in a 4 x 5 pattern.

Located on a corner site, the entrance bay is rounded and topped with a round tower and lead dome. The entrance includes a panelled double door with an overlight, with a window on each floor above. The pub front extends along both sides and is divided by pilasters beneath a fascia that displays the name in Brilliant lettering, supported by a moulded cornice on scroll brackets. The windows are cross mullioned with turned wooden mullions and traceried toplights.

On the Pelham Street side, there is a double door beneath a semicircular pediment, while the Thurland Street side features a simpler round-arched door. The first floor showcases segment-arched transomed casements with elongated keystones, set under a deep band of foliage decoration, and several panes of original etched glass. The Thurland Street front includes a canted bay window with a round-arched centre light and a coped parapet. Above this are round-arched transomed casements with keystones and an impost band. Each front has an attic dormer with a shaped gable and two segment-arched windows.

Inside, the public house retains Renaissance Revival style decoration, including a lincrusta cornice and ceiling. The wooden central bar fittings are in the same style, with some original elements still present. The first-floor function room features an enriched cornice and a panelled wooden fireplace with an overmantel and clock, flanked by mirrors. There are half-glazed double doors with shaped glazing bars, and a wooden winder stair with renewed balusters. The name of the public house commemorates Thurland Hall, which was demolished around 1830 and stood nearby.
