Fothergill’s Buildings in The Park Estate

watson

It has taken a lot of research but I’ve put together an illustrated talk on Fothergill’s Buildings in The Park Estate… and some of the people who lived in them. I will be premiering this lecture for The Park Residents Association on Wednesday 4 October (7 pm for 7.30 pm) at The Park Tennis Club, Tattershall Drive, Nottingham. Details here.

I will hopefully be available to give a version of this talk to other groups in future – so please get in touch if you have a group who would be interested in hearing about some great buildings and their interesting history.

Watson Fothergill Walks are dog-friendly!

This weekend I took a group and their dogs on the Watson Fothergill Walk… It was very chilly (I don’t do many walks in January and I wear thermals!) but the group and their dogs all enjoyed learning about Nottingham’s unique architecture.

There is no extra charge for well-behaved dogs on my walks – and the Watson Fothergill Walk has the added bonus of finishing up at the dog-friendly pub Fothergill’s.
