Caught & Bowled Micropub, Giltbrook

There is an astonishing number of micropubs along the road from Nuthall to Langley Mill including this cricket-themed establishment in Giltbrook occupying a former newsagent's shop. Perhaps it was the loss of the Hardys and Hanson brewery in Kimberley, whose products were ubiquitous in this area, that spurred the trend.

Miners Return, Kimberley

There can be few areas of the country so rich in micropubs as here along the old road from Nottingham to Heanor. One of them is the Miners Return sandwiched between a convenience store and a fish and chip shop on Eastwood Road at Kimberley. This was the site of Kimberley Miners' Welfare (a social club) and the mining heritage is acknowledged in the name of the pub.
