Historic Interest
The Star Inn is a former Shipstones tied house.
Re-built in 1915 to a design by local architect Frederick Ball LRIBA (1861-1915). Ball was the Sheriff of Nottingham 1906-07, Mayor of Nottingham 1913-14 and was uncle of the WWI air ace, Albert Ball. Other Nottingham pubs designed by Ball include the Generous Briton, Alfreton Road; the White Lion, Clumber Street (1910); the White Horse, Ilkeston Road (1912) and the Johnson Arms, Lenton (1912).
As at November 2017, the freehold for the Star (NT349498) was held by the Red Star Pub Company (WRIII) Limited (Reg. No. 4089947), a Heineken company. At the same date, the leasehold for the Star (NT498415) was held by Horse & Jockey (Stapleford) Limited (Reg. No. 8205842).

Former Shipstone‚s pub with fine etched windows. The interior is structurally intact, and dates from a refit ca.1914. A good winding lobby with an old bar counter with glazed panels above projecting outwards. Front-right, a good bar with old benches. Front-left, a separate snug. Rear-right behind the servery is a traditional lounge. All rooms have their own doors. What spoils it is the servery area, which has had modern alterations, including some new counters - particularly evident in the front bar and rear lounge. (SP)
