This is a lively, authoritative and practical guide to the buildings of Nottingham, from its medieval beginnings to the innovative architecture of the 21st century. Outstanding buildings range from the famous Castle, a Baroque palace on an unforgettable cliff-top site, to the internationally important 1930s complex for Boots at Beeston. A rich legacy also remains from Nottingham's Georgian and Victorian prosperity, explored here in a series of walks around the regenerated city centre and its distinctive and varied inner suburbs.Illustrated throughout in colour with specially commissioned photographs, augmented by a wealth of maps and historic views, "Nottingham" is at once the indispensible visitor's companion and an essential reference work.

Fascinating guide to Nottingham's architecture.
Excellent, compact guide to a city which is rich in architectural gems from most periods. Even though I've lived near the city for years I've discovered many buildings that I wasn't previously aware of. Could do with a ring bound version for ease of use if you want to follow the various walks which are detailed in the book. Lots of colour photographs and detailed descriptions of the most well known buildings,such as Boots D10 and the Playhouse.
