More Watson Fothergill Walks. Talks in the Pub are back! Plus a new Work in Progress.
Watson Fothergill Walk is an architecture tour of Nottingham looking at the life and work of Victorian architect Watson Fothergill, who was originally known as Fothergill Watson. The story of his name change, his buildings and the people who commissioned them is told on a 2-hour tour of the city centre.
Watson Fothergill Walk, Architecture of Victorian Nottingham, Sunday, 6 September, 10 am
Watson Fothergill Walk, Architecture of Victorian Nottingham, Sunday, 13 September, 2 pm – rare afternoon slot!
Tickets are £20 each.
Talks in the Pub returns!
Another chance to join me for Nottingham’s Berni Inns & Their Buildings, my illustrated talk looking at the history of Berni Inn, the groundbreaking British chain restaurant. In its heyday it had up to nine branches in the Nottingham area, in historic buildings with stories to tell.
This talk was a sell-out earlier in the year, so I’m running it again at The Vat & Fiddle pub on Wednesday, 23 September, 7 pm. Tickets are £10 each (plus booking fee, or cash at the bar).

New Work in Progress Nottingham Public Art Tour
I’m working on a new tour in association with Nottingham Contemporary, exploring Nottingham’s public art, sculpture and street art. I’m running a Work in Progress version on Thursday, 27 August, 11 am
Numbers are strictly limited and it would be great to get some feedback to help me shape up the tour, (and come up with a better name for it!).
I have very limited availability for private tours in September & October – if you have a small group (up to 20 people) who would enjoy any of my tours at a time of your choice, please drop me a line. (Minimum charges apply).
