England: Nottingham

Nottingham is the name given to the City and unitary authority in the East Midlands of England. The City of Nottingham is actually rather small with a population of less than 300,000 but the larger Nottingham Urban Area has a much greater population of well over 600,000. Famed for it's association with the legendary outlaw, Robin Hood, the city offers much more to keep the tourist entertained.

With such a long history, which can be traced back to Anglo-Saxon times, the city has a multitude of varied architectural styles. Although there are older buildings some of the finest buildings are from the Nineteenth Century. The Victorian period saw Nottingham witness a building boom due to the profits made during (and after) the industrial revolution when local industries, such as lace making, grew rapidly.

Nottingham's main focal point is the Old Market Square (the largest in Britain) with the domineering Council House (pictured left) which was built in the 1920s and now features a quality shopping area on the ground floor (well worth a visit) in the Exchange Arcade. For bars and restaurants visit the Canal-side area where you will find plenty in converted 19th Century industrial buildings. Throughout the city you will notice that the majority of old buildings have been restored or renovated, some for residential use but many for shops, boutiques and other small business.
