Guided tours of Nottingham
The morning walk on 28th April 2019 is very nearly sold out so I have added an afternoon session startng at 1pm. Tickets are available on Eventbrite price £12 each, tickets include hot drinks and cake at Debbie Bryan after the walk.
I’ll be coming back with more walks in 2019 – I’m hoping to start around March and then do walks on Sunday mornings a least once a month. I will also be planning some early evening walks when the nights are light enough. I hope to try out a walk featuring the buildings of Nottingham’s other star Victorian Architect, Thomas Chambers Hine.
Meanwhile I’m doing a bit more research.. including a visit to The University of Nottingham Manuscripts and Special Collections Reading Room where they hold a copy (on microform) of Fothergill’s notebooks… Difficult to read in places… but here’s the point where he marks his name change…

Thanks to everyone who came to Beeston Library for my “Virtual” Watson Fothergill Walk. I had some great feedback on the talk and I really enjoyed it. I hope I can do some more talks in this format as it’s a good way to experience part of the tour without the walking (and I get to wear a head-mic and pretend I’m a stand-up or Madonna… wish I had a photo!)
A few folks on Facebook expressed an interest in a Sunday edition of the Beauty In The Details Lace Market Walk so I’ve added a date on 9 December 2018. The walk will be a short exploration of St Mary’s Gate starting at Debbie Bryan at 2pm. After a look around the area we will finish up at Debbie Bryan for a drink and a warm mince pie. Plus there’s 10% off other menu items in the tea room.
Get your tickets for £10 each here on Eventbrite.
There are still tickets for the Friday walk 7 December 2018 HERE.
