Nottingham has the UK's largest network of caves - over 800 are hidden beneath its streets. Cut into the sandstone they have been used for many purposes for centuries.
I went along to Goose Fair on two evenings while it was on this year. On the first evening I took with me my Fujifilm XT2 camera with a 35mm f/2 lens, and the second evening my XT3 camera with the kit lens (see adjacent detail).

One from back in April, whilst at Woodlesford station in one of the dull moments I set myself a challenge of a head on pan shot, the task was to find the slowest shutter speed I could get a successful shot. This is 1/20 second and was just lucky I had focus on the driver.
Its one I've been toying with either upload or delete.

Rock Cottage
Brewhouse Yard Museum
A view taken from the wall of Nottingham Castle.
The museum depicts the social history of Nottingham over the last 300 years.
Housed in five 17th century cottages adjacent to the famous 'Trip to Jerusalem' public house.
Brewhouse Yard once contained a thriving community of 20 houses with, at its peak, a population of some 127 people.
Today the surviving buildings house the museum and contain a mixture of reconstructed room and shop settings, and gallery displays.
Here you can experience being in a Victorian home, see inside a child’s bedroom, root through the cupboards in the kitchen and pump water.
Arboretum Nottingham. Opened as the first public park in the city in May 1852, to the design of Samuel Curtis. It is Grade 2* listed, and the winner of several Green Flag awards.

... I took this photo from one of the footpaths through The Nottingham Forest Recreation Ground, looking towards St Andrew's Church (across The Rock Cemetery). It was a cold misty morning.

A mix of historic buildings such as Midland Station & the British Waterways goods warehouse and more modern architecture. As English cities go the mix between old and new buildings is not at all bad compared with say Preston where heart of the city is little more than a jumble of ill-matching constructs. The shot was taken from the grounds of Nottingham castle. Nottingham, UK.
The cladding of the new Nottingham College building is designed to look like the punchcards once used to manufacture lace.
Some shots of my home town with my wide angle Lomo cam the Blue Ribbon. IT was shot using 100 ISO colour slide film and is all SOOC. :)
the big wheel set up in the town square.
In Nottingham's attempts to claim the city back from the drunken yobs that usually fill the city centre, Nottingham has had a special night out "Nottingham light night" to encourage more families and regular people to come in to the city.
A very deserted Nottingham Railway Station, due to Coronavirus.
This photo features in my short film on YouTube (bit.ly/3gnSnQm) about the emptyness of some of our streets and landmarks.
Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
