Nottingham's architecture. It dates back over 1000 years, so the City has had a great range of buildings built throughout its history. Nottingham also has many grand buildings as a result of our fantastic Victorian ancestors and these are the buildings mainly photographed here. Nottingham is actually quite a beautiful place, contrary to what the press prefers to write about it..

Central and University distrcits:

Skyline of the old Central area focussed around Market Square

The old Public Library on Shakespeare Street

University building and Nottingham Guildhall

New buildings rising above Guildhall

The old clocktower of Victoria Station and Victoria Tower

Former Victoria Station hotel now Hilton Hotel and Victoria Tower

Spires and the dome of the Council House

Queen Street and the pillars of the Council House

The opposite street King Street and the Nottingham Eye

Looking back up King Street

some great pics, the big wheel is the one that Cardiff used to have at the winter wonderland at christmas outside city hall. Is it permanent there now as we had a different one this year.

Great photos! I must admit the first time I visited Nottingham I was blown away by all the grand old buildings, lovely city.
