In Nottingham, stands a grade II listed public house, called 'Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem'

Though there is no verification, the building claims to have been built in 1189.

The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built.

Its attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone.

These were reputedly originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, dating from the medieval period.

Before being known by its current name, it is believed that the pub was named "The Pilgrim" and references to this name, date back to 1751.

The current name is believed to come from the belief that pilgrims or crusaders, would stop at the inn on their journey to Jerusalem.

'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem' is one of several pubs claiming to be the oldest in England.

The pub claims that it was established in 1189 AD, the year that Richard the Lionheart became king and went on a third crusade to the Holy Land, however, there is no documentation to verify this date.

Evidence suggests that caves in the rock against which the pub is built date from around the time the castle was built in 1067.

The oldest parts of the current building, were likely constructed between 1650 and 1660.
