Nottingham: A City with Lace-Making History
Nottingham sits right in the middle of England, its streets lined with grand old buildings, medieval tales and Victorian factories, harking back to its history of lace-making.
Just 33 miles south of Sheffield and 45 miles north-east of Birmingham, it’s only 2 hours by train from London, so within easy reach of many major cities.
Sitting on the River Trent, Old Market Square is the largest public square outside London, and perched on top of the Council House is Little John (Big Ben’s little brother!) Its deep tone chimes strike every 15 minutes, heard for miles across the city.
