Carved into the base of Castle Rock since at least 1189 AD, the Trip to Jerusalem Inn peers out from the sandstone cliff below Nottingham Castle in this atmospheric real-photograph postcard — its whitewashed facade proudly proclaiming itself "The Oldest Inn in England" while a sign for "Home Brewed Ales" beckons from the right. The castle's battlemented terrace looms dramatically on the cliff edge above, creating one of Britain's most vertically striking historic juxtapositions: a medieval pub literally tunneled into the living rock beneath a Norman fortress. Published by Valentine's of Dundee with batch code "38-2," this real-photo card dates to approximately 1938, just a year before the Second World War would transform British daily life forever. The back is clean and unused.
