Description
Nottingham has been a settlement since before the Normans built their castle there. Over time, the medieval town grew around both the castle and the original settlement in today's Lace Market area. Some remains of medieval Nottingham can still be seen today. The city underwent significant changes in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with notable developments including the construction of the Council House, major railway stations, and theatres. Alan Spree has curated a collection of old postcards to capture life in Nottingham from the late 19th century to the early 1950s. These images provide a unique visual record of Nottingham's evolution over time, showcasing how landmarks have remained while the community adapted and changed.
