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.

I’m a member of Nottingham’s Women in Business networking group, Blue Stockings Society. Together we have put together a new event on Thursday 28 July starting at 7 pm. It will comprise a short guided walk that takes an entertaining and informative look at the architecture and history of The Lace Market – with buildings by architects Watson Fothergill and Thomas Chambers Hine, as well as the modern urban landscaping that makes the area unique.
After the walk, there will be a networking session at The Angel Microbrewery, inside the historically interesting Old Angel Pub on Stoney Street in the heart of the quarter.
