Temperance Hotel, Barker Gate, Nottingham 1880s

I note you intend to visit the Nottingham archives.  perhaps check out the following https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm005529/posterid/ntgm005529.html

  There was another hotel like the one seen here on Shakespeare Street and Lester's Temperance Hotel on Hounds Gate. A Temperance Movement Hall was designed by the renowned Nottingham Architect Watson Fothergill but never built. Watson Fothergill also built a Coffee Tavern for the Temperance Movement in Hucknall (1884).

Maybe the Coffee Tavern which may have been in Barkergate Hucknall is the establishment you are searching for.

purlin: a great find!

It gave me the idea to search for coffee tavern and temperance keywords for the 1881 and 1891 census but although I found a few, I didn't find any Barker Gate addresses. And only found owners and their staff, with no-one listed as a lodger on census night.

Good call about Barker Gate in Hucknall as I was focused on Barker Gate in Nottingham.  Now to see how many Barker Gates there were around and about.

I don't know when I'll visit the archives - probably in a month or so.

Perhaps need to widen my search, geographically speaking.
