The pubs are instantly recognisable by the stunning tile work on the outside of the buildings
Nottingham still has many excellent examples of late Victorian or Edwardian pubs dotted across the city centre. in an array of colours.
Birmingham was one of the first cities to cover its pubs in terracotta tiles on the lower level of the pub but it wasn't until the Victorians perfected glazed tiles that they moved outside. Glazed tiles could be made in any colour, pattern and mass-produced in factories. It also owned two of Nottingham's best examples of tiled pubs: The Running Horse and The White Horse which has since become a cafe. It was customary at that time for breweries to insist on a certain colour of the tiles used and both pubs are an eye-catching green shade. Although this may be a coincidence.
Hilary Silvester, executive chair of the Nottingham Civic Society said: "We are delighted that their character has been retained, especially on the outside of the pub. It's important that we keep this original appearance for their contribution to the city and the streets they are on but also because they reflect the social and commercial history of the city.
