There will be more scheduled dates for these tours in November:
Deco in the Details Part 1 – Sunday 3 November, 10 am
Start and end at Nottingham’s Council House to look for traces of Art Deco in the architecture of the 1920s & 1930s. We’ll look at the rise of chain stores like Montague Burton, F.W. Woolworth, and Marks & Spencer, as well as the use of concrete in industrial buildings and the influence of car ownership on the city’s architecture in the 1930s.
Deco in the Details Part 2 – Sunday 17 November, 10 am
Starting outside Victoria Centre Clock Tower, we will look for more buildings by T.C. Howitt, see how indestructible the bomb-proof Fire Station really is, and trace the influence of shopping and entertainment on Nottingham’s changing layout. Seek out the remnants of the Art Deco era including hints of streamline moderne and even some Egyptian hanging gardens.
