From the creator of Watson Fothergill Walk. Look for traces of Art Deco in Nottingham's architecture of the 1920s & 1930s.
Join me for a walk exploring Nottingham's architecture from the 1920s and 1930s, starting and ending with T. Cecil Howitt's Council House sculptures.
We'll look at the rise of chain stores like Montague Burton, F.W. Woolworth, and Marks & Spencer, as well as the use of concrete in industrial buildings and the influence of car ownership on the city's architecture in the 1930s.
Discover how Nottingham adapted to 20th-century changes, and look for Art Deco details in the buildings.
The walk, led by Lucy, the creator of Watson Fothergill Walk, is approximately 2 k m (1.25 miles) long and takes about 2 hours.
Please come prepared for all weather conditions and wear suitable footwear. We'll meet at 10 am outside Nottingham Tourism Centre (next to Council House).
Advanced booking is essential as places are limited.
(Please note this is the same walk that was recently staged for the Art Deco Society UK).
Some feedback from previous events:
"Charisma and humor from the guide. She also provided lots of historical info without ever being dry or boring."
"I cannot recommend these walking tours enough."
