The cellars beneath it are known as caves and probably date to the turn of the 19th century
Despite the ever-changing line-up of stores in Clumber Street, Nottingham, there is one building that has remained recognisable for many years - the Lion Hotel. The Grade II-listed building is no longer a hotel - it is now a casino - which is quite appropriate given its past. The hotel was built in 1684 and was known as the White Lion Inn. At the time, Nottingham had several coaching inns around the city centre.
The Duke of Cumberland - youngest son of George II - once stayed at the hotel when he came to receive the freedom of the town in 1779. It may well have acquired its tiled exterior around this time, known as the Edwardian period, as many pubs in the city centre were tiled, including the Running Horse on Radford Road. Turn of the century pubs often had tiles on the front as it was a way of making them stand out from competitors. It started as an architectural trend in the early 1800s but became really popular during the late 1890s and early 1900s.
