Mansfield pub history index
Albert street is earlier named Cockpit, and renamed about 1851 or thereabouts. The next entry in many of the early census is in Nottingham road. This is a separate pub from the Old White Bear at 9 Albert street. The 1901 census lists it at 20 Albert street, and at the junction with 2 Nottingham road. It is strange that it is named the Victoria at the end of her reign, according to the 1900 directory. The 1911 census also lists this a s the Victoria Hotel.
