These include the late Ken Brand’s pamphlet on Mapperley Park Estate, Geoffrey Oldfield’s The Lace Market, Nottingham and Andrew Hamilton’s look at Nottingham’s Caves. There are also just 2 copies of the commemorative book on The Council House and Old Market Square, which was put together by The Civic Society in 2004 to mark it’s 75th anniversary.

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.
You can book a private tour for 6 or people (with or without canine pals) or join one of my ticketed walks.
