Nottingham

by Groverdean - last update: Jul 8, 2005

Underground Entrance to Nottingham Castle-England
When someone says to you the name Nottingham what comes to mind? Naturally it's those 13th-century outlaws from Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. However, the city was also home to the romantic poet Lord Byron; you can visit his ancestral home at Newstead Abbey. D. H. Lawrence, author of Sons and Lovers and Lady Chatterley's Lover, was born in a tiny miner's cottage in Eastwood, which he later immortalized in his writings.
Nottingham "Castle"-England
Nottingham is an Industrial and a University Town and as such has a high population of young people. Another aspect to Nottingham which I have heard is quite good is its vibrant nightlife scene.

 The bottom photo in your introduaction is the construction site of the Inland Revenue building, viewed from the Castle grounds. It was completed in 1994 and is a very modern-style building.

 You really need to stop sleeping on the streets - this is the 3rd or 4th place you visited and got sick!
