Angel Microbrewery - Stoney Street - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - Breweries on Waymarking.com

"Extensively refurbished in Spring 2016, and now incorporating a microbrewery. The Old Angel has stood in The Lace Market since at least the 1600's. The Grade II Listed building has a long and colourful history - it was the site of two murders in the 1700’s (a policeman and a prostitute!) and was formerly both a brothel and a chapel. The building is said to be haunted by the ghost of the young prostitute. Deep underneath the pub, down steep winding stairs below the beer cellar, are caves, hollowed out of the sub-soil in the shape of a crucifix. The old Chapel with its double height ceiling is a famous gig venue, while the old church pews lie upstairs, perfectly preserved, a relic of the buildings ancient history.
