georgeon building now museum on site on nottingham castle


Better weather this morning, there is still little snow on the ground.
Nottingham castle is really not much to talk about. too many centuries spent on the loosing side of a civil wars will do that. they do have a really good history display in the ground floor. But the building is only built in the Victorian era.

Nottingham is very much an industrial town, from the 1850's. One of the industries was lace making. This is in a most wonderful old 14 c building. So now I have some lace for my table.
