DERBY PUBS

THE FLOWER POT

 

 

 

Location:  On the corner of King Street and Chapel Street, close to the multi-storey Chapel Street Car Park. 

Historical Information:  Originally a three storey house built about 200 years ago, which was converted into a pub a few years afterwards. The origin of the name came as a result of Flower Shows being held in the nearby Drill Hall. The pub having been extended into the property next door, is deceptively spacious inside. It is both a real ale and music pub - but latter is kept separate to provide an area of comparative peace and quiet.    

Sign:  The Flower Pot must have the most unusual sign, if not the largest in Derby. It is named in a review of unusual pub signs in the midlands.

Curiosities:  At the beginning of the 20th century there was stabling and room for the same number of wagons.
