The Forest Tavern (former Public House)

The Bendigo Heritage Project is dedicated to celebrating the legacy of legendary prize-fighter William Thompson, known as Bendigo, who has a strong historical connection with the Forest Tavern in Nottingham. Through various initiatives, including the installation of a civic plaque funded by Nottingham Civic Society, the project aims to acknowledge and preserve Bendigo's significant contribution to Nottingham's sporting heritage.

In addition to commemorating Bendigo's achievements, the project actively engages the community by hosting events and collaborating with local organizations, including the Nottingham Civic Society and Castle Rock Brewery. Their efforts ensure that Bendigo's story remains accessible and appreciated by future generations, reinforcing the importance of Nottingham's 19th-century sporting legacy.
