[FORMER] The Hermitage, Sneinton - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

Former pub, The Hermitage, also previously known as Bendigo's, and the Wrestlers Inn. It was named after a famous Nottingham boxer and it still has as a statue of him above the main entrance.

The statue stands in the 'Southpaw stance' above the entrance. Apparently Bendigo’s hands were replaced at some point due to public demand because they had started disintegrating. The tree in front of the old pub is enormous, and there are limited angles to get a photograph from.

"[The pub] was named after its famous resident, the Old Wrestlers pub was converted to Bendigo's in 1957 and became a popular pub among Sneinton locals. Ironically the pub was forced to close in the late 1990s due to brawling but re-opened as The Hermitage in 1999 and remained for a further decade before closing again in 2009. As of 2013 the building has been renovated and is used for private events, although the statue of Thompson above the entrance still remains and locals commonly refer to the site as Bendigo`s or The Bendigo to this day."
