Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem in Nottingham is one of several pubs in England which claim to be the oldest. The pub building rests against Castle Rock on which Nottingham Castle is built. The pub claims that it was established in 1189 AD. However, there is no documentation to verify this date; the earliest parts of the current building date from around 1650. The pub is attached to several caves carved out of the soft sandstone of Castle Rock, which were originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, and appears to date from around the time of the construction of the castle in 1068 AD.
