From its status as a producer of the world-famous Nottingham lace to its
current role as a vibrant university city and major centre of sport and
culture in the East Midlands of England, Nottingham has a proud and
distinctive identity. This extraordinary history is embodied in the
buildings that have shaped the city. Nottingham in 50 Buildings explores
the history of the city through a selection of its greatest
architectural treasures, from the iconic neo-Baroque Council House to
more recent additions such as the cutting-edge Nottingham Contemporary
arts centre. Author and historian Ian D Rotherham celebrates
Nottingham's architectural heritage in a new and accessible way as they
guide the reader around the city's historic and modern buildings.
