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 took this photo near St Peter's Church and M&S in Nottingham.
The band is Nottingham's Can Samba Band ...

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).

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.
Just about to pull in is Nottingham 310 (C310 NRC), a Northern Counties bodied Volvo Citybus. It is operating route 50 to Gedling. Fleetline 210 is seen in the background.
Nottingham Capitol / Mount Zion. Opened in October 1936, designed in art deco style by Reginald W G Cooper, the Capitol Cinema seated 1,122 people in stalls and balcony levels. It closed, unaltered, in favour of bingo in June 1968, and this lasted until 2004. The Mount Zion Apostolic Church acquired the building and converted it into their place of worship. Water ingress damaged the building and in 2019 it closed for major repair work. These are reportedly ongoing in 2024, but with little sign of activity. Grade 2 listed.

Commentary.
This place and image is very personal to me.
My late father was a R.A.F. Reconnaissance Photographer
during the Second World War.
He specialised in Dark Room, chemical imaging, with film.
This place was the last one he photographed in the winter of 1988/89.
He was visiting one of my many cousins.
His image was in mid-winter, whereas this image is in early summer.
But, obviously, it has become a poignant picture.
It is taken from the Attenborough Nature Reserve, near Nottingham.
The lakes were previously gravel pits.
It is adjacent to the River Trent, to the south-west of the city.
Happy memories, because he really enjoyed the visit.
... 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.

170272 Calling at Rauceby with 2S25 16.45 Nottingham to Skegness East Midlands Railway service on Tuesday 7th January 2024.
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 "Nottingham Eye" is back in the Market Square so I snapped it with my phone. Again, no a bad result for a phone-cam? This is taken in Panoramic mode, panning vertically (bottom to top) with the phone in landscape orientation. Then straightened up a bit and cropped in CS6.
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.

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.
The Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin
The large parish church of St Mary sits in Nottingham's historic Lace Market district, it is one of the oldest medieval structures in the city dating from the 1300's.
The cladding of the new Nottingham College building is designed to look like the punchcards once used to manufacture lace.
I took this B&W photo on Forman Street ... the Theatre Royal is in the distance.
I'm trying out Fujifilm's Acros + Yellow film simulation (with additional minor tweaks to it), as suggested by my friend, Allan.
