[[Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem]] (the Trip), partially built into the cave system beneath Nottingham Castle, is a contender for the title of England's Oldest Pub, as it is supposed to have been established in 1189.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/entertainment/pubs/trip.shtml| title=Nottingham – Pubs| access-date=4 December 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140621045656/http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/entertainment/pubs/trip.shtml| archive-date=21 June 2014| url-status=live}}</ref>

[[The Bell Inn, Nottingham|The Bell Inn]] in the Old Market Square, and [[Ye Olde Salutation Inn]] (the Salutation) in Maid Marian Way have both disputed this claim. The Trip's current timber building probably dates back to the 17th or 18th century, but the caves are certainly older and may have been used to store beer and water for the castle during medieval times. There are also caves beneath the Salutation that date back to the medieval period, although they are no longer used as beer cellars. The Bell Inn is probably the oldest of the three pub buildings still standing, according to [[dendrochronology]], and has medieval cellars that are still used to store beer.<ref name="Lomax2013">{{cite book |first=Scott&nbsp;C. |last=Lomax |title=Nottingham: The Buried Past of a Historic City Revealed |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vy8RBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT83 |date=17 October 2013 |publisher=Pen and Sword |isbn=978-1-4738-2999-2 |pages=83– |access-date=27 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108011808/https://books.google.com/books?id=Vy8RBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT83 |archive-date=8 January 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
