The Mansfield Arms in Nottingham.
This photo is from John Turner of Ilkeston and shows the Shipstone’s scoreboard at Nottingham Forest’s ground. The ‘Ivor Thirst’ character moved when a goal was scored. Judging from the placard “Our Kenny’s a good boy” (Kenny Burns) this would date from the late 1970s. See BHS Newsletter 45.
