Arnold was known as 'Ernehale' in the Domesday Book, which translates when 'a vale of eagles'.

Home Brewery
A town's virtually all notable landmark is probably a House Ales building within Daybrook. Based around 1875, a brewery was notable for its Robin Hood logotype in beermats. A brewery remained independent until 1986 whilst it (along by having its 450 owned gin mill) was purchased by Scottish & Newcastle for £123million. Scottish & Newcastle gradually moved production to its Mansfield brewery site, resulting in the eventual closure of the Daybrook building in 1996. Front yard Bitter is however brewed under contract at Everards within Leicester, although numbers of of the pub that utilized to serve it at present sell Theakston's beers instead. A Personal Ales building today houses county council agents. A lit 'House of the Right Ales' sign was altered to include a Nottinghamshire County Council logotype.
