Beauty in the details: Guided Lace Market Tour in Nottingham

I’m going to be leading some short, free walks for Heritage Open Days (HODS) in September. In colaboration with Debbie Bryan, from her shop and tearoom in the Nottingham Lace Market.  I’ll be introducing the history of the buildings on St Mary’s Gate in the heart of the Lace Market, there will be a bit about Fothergill too…

Fothergill Watson / Watson Fothergill: One Architect, Two Names

Nottingham’s most famous Victorian architect Watson Fothergill (or as he was known for the first 50 or so years of his life, Fothergill Watson) produced some of the city’s most eye catching and idyosyncratic buldings. I want to take you on a tour of some of the best of them, and learn more about the man, his buildings and the city in which they were built.

“I left no stone unturned in my endeavours to throughly master my profession.” Watson Fothergill

Join me for a guided walking tour of Nottingham City Centre to explore the history of some of the most original and beautiful buildings of the Victorian era.
