Opis

Nottingham is a city steeped in history. From being home to the iconic Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood, the most famous outlaw in Britain, to its lace-making and tobacco industries, the city has had a chequered past. Nottingham Castle, constructed in the eleventh century, has stood witness to these changes and remains central to the city's identity. The Industrial Revolution in Nottingham saw the cementation of an internationally renowned lace-making industry. Though this industry has long gone, the seven-storey red-brick warehouses and iron railings in the Lace Market are iconic reminders of the halcyon lace-making days. Its architecture brings thousands of visitors each year, eager to see the famed Old Market Square and many other Victorian buildings. Nottingham's history is a long one, filled with sieges, slavery and industrial prowess and strife. Its architecture and town square are renowned, and its gritty image has been the basis for many books and films. Jill Armitage reveals the many tales and events that have shaped Nottingham, and the legacy these events and the Industrial Revolution has left upon the city.
