Hi, We are doing some research into the Barnes of nottingham and we have found an old family painting of an ancestor called Albert, stood outside his pub called the duke of wellington, which was located on mount east street. This matches up with the 1881 census, However we have little information about the public house. We do know it got sold to the manchester, sheffield and lincolnshire railway company on the 13th of may 1896 by Albert Barnes who was the trustee of john Barnes.

Just a quick question regarding the pub as it was formerly known as the Balloon,

Has anybody any records of this public house under both names?

Kind regards

Matt and Lindsey
