The Bramcote?
That is the name of my local pub but I have no idea what it means, does anyone out there know?
Answers:
Bramcote means 'Cottages in the Broom' (Broom being a small woody shrub)

Bramcote is a settlement in the Broxtowe district of Nottinghamshire, about five miles south-west of Nottingham. It was a separate village but is now a suburb of Greater Nottingham. Originally one of the main roads between the cities of Nottingham and Derby (about 15 miles apart) passed through the village centre. Nowadays the main Nottingham - Derby road (the A52 - called the Brian Clough Way in honour of the soccer manager who brought success to both Nottingham Forest and Derby County) passes a little to the north of the village centre, partially cutting the centre from the Bramcote Hills part of the village. The original road snakes through the old centre entering a steep-sided cutting just south of the centre, forming a blind bend known as 'Devils Bend'.
