Another chance to see… Fothergill’s Buildings in Mansfield on Zoom

watson

I’m going to re-run my online talk on Watson Fothergill’s buildings in his birthplace Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Tickets here

Fothergill’s Buildings in Mansfield is an illustrated online talk, via Zoom. It will take place on Tuesday 22 November 2022 at 7 pm – ticket holders can watch live or have access to a recording will be available for one month after the broadcast date.

Flamboyant Victorian Architect Fothergill Watson was born in 1841 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Some of his earliest buildings were in the town. In this illustrated online talk Tour Guide and Art Historian, Lucy Brouwer will look at their history. 

Before he moved to Nottingham, Fothergill Watson (who changed his name in 1892 to Watson Fothergill) had many connections in Mansfield and here he built houses, shops and the town’s Cattle Market. 

In this “Virtual Tour”, Lucy – the creator of the popular Nottingham guided tour, Watson Fothergill Walk – will look at the surviving buildings and those that were demolished. 

Tickets are £5 each (Plus Eventbrite fee).

If you’d like to organise a Zoom talk for your group, please send a message via the form on this page.

Watson Fothergill Virtual Walk: Fothergill’s Buildings in Mansfield, 8 February 2022, 7 pm. Tickets £5 +booking fee

Thanks to everyone who has taken part in a Watson Fothergill Walk this year, also to all those who have sent messages about Fothergill’s buildings – I’ve written up reports of some visits on my blog, with more to come soon! If you live in a Fothergill or have memories of working in one of the buildings, do email me!

The architect Watson Fothergill, or as he was known until 1892, Fothergill Watson, was born in 1841 in Mansfield, Notts. He had many connections in his home town and some of his buildings can still be found there. 

I have been working on an introduction to these buildings in the form of a “Virtual Walk”, a new illustrated Zoom talk that will take place on 8 February 2022 at 7 pm, tickets £5 (plus booking fee). Join me to learn more about the buildings that remain and those that have been lost.

April Zoom Talk: Watson Fothergill Virtual Walk

watson

I was overwhelmed by the great response to the Watson Fothergill Virtual Walks earlier in the year, so I’m going to do one more…

Tickets for 22 April here.

The next Watson Fothergill Virtual Walk Zoom session will be on Thursday 22 April 7 pm. Tickets are £5 with a small booking fee (and you only need one ticket per household/device).

I’m hoping to get full scale “real life” walks going again this summer, when restrictions on social distancing will hopefully be relaxed… Meanwhile until then, private walks for small groups can be booked at times to suit your group. For more details, contact Lucy.

Talk for Bromley House Library

Over the last few years it has been my great pleasure to become a member of Nottingham’s hidden gem, Bromley House Library. Currently, the Library has been forced to close due to the “current situation” so their programme of local history talks has been moved online.

My next outing for the Watson Fothergill Walk will be a virtual one, entitled Watson Fothergill: Nottingham’s Most Flamboyant Architect. It is open to Bromley House Library members only and takes place on 20 January 2021, 2pm.

However, if you are interested in organising a talk for your group then please get in touch with me and we can set up a “virtual tour”.

Watson Fothergill Walk… from the comfort of your own home!

This year I haven’t been able to take as many people as I would have liked out on the Watson Fothergill Walk… but I have been able to take more photos of some of Nottingham’s most interesting Victorian buildings.

So I’m delighted to present an online version of the tour – The Watson Fothergill Virtual Walk! I’ve picked my favourite buildings to put together a live online version and I hope you will be able to join me zia Zoom.

The first of these will be on Thursday 3 December at 7pm and tickets are £5 (plus a small booking fee). I hope to add more dates so get in touch and let me know if you’d like to take part.

Gift Vouchers

When it becomes possible to lead tour groups again (in 2021) I will be planning lots more walk dates.
Meanwhile you can buy gift vouchers which can be exchanged for tickets (via Eventbrite).
