Black Bull

The Black Bull was located on King Street, close to the Newcastle Arms. 

The first known reference to it is in the directory of 1828-9, and it is showing on the map of 1835. By 1838 it was the depature point of S. Bailey's van to Nottingham on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

In September 1887, John Butterworth applied for permission to extend the premises into the adjoining cottage, which was also owned by the Butterworths. The application was granted, and the resultant extended building included a large club room, 33ft long by 16ft wide, two additional bedrooms, and a store room upstairs, while downstairs there was a private sitting room, tap-room, bar parlour and larger kitchen accommodation. 

In 1888 the building was sold to Messrs R. Warwick & Sons of Newark. 

The Black Bull shows on a map of Sutton in 1935, and is listed in the 1941 directory, but has since closed.
