The city of Nottingham has a notorious past, from ancient underground caves to the turbulent and dramatic history of the castle with its links to monarchs and legends.The origins of Nottingham have been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Age artefacts have all been discovered in the River Trent and the city’s remarkable series of caves are believed to date back to the medieval period. During the 16th Century, the English Civil War began in Nottingham when Charles I raised his standard here in 1642 and also ended in the county of Nottinghamshire, in Newark. Many centuries on, Nottingham was granted city status by Queen Victoria and this once small fortified town finally came of age. | |
