Learn about Nottingham and its buildings !

Attended this today, as I've been a fan of the WF architecture for some time and was curious to learn more. Lucy didn't disappoint, she was knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept the group entertained throughout. A really worthwhile thing to do, to learn about Nottingham, architecture, and the history of the city. Excellent value ???? Do this on your own, in a couple or with friends. You'll enjoy it !

I arranged a private tour for a few friends and it was brilliant! Lucy set just the right pace and was both informative and entertaining. We learnt how to identify a Fothergill building as well as lots of fascinating history of families and businesses around Nottingham city centre. Great value and highly recommended.

Watson Fothergill hiding in plain sight.

A brillnt two hour walk round the buildings of Watson Fothergill. Lucy has certainly done her reaserch and delivers the facts with humour and confidence that makes the tour fly by. Her passion and Insight for the architect is clear and her enthusiasm make this a glorious, fun and illuminating tour. Very highly recommended. Will definitely be doing more

What a genuinely wonderful, enjoyable and informative walk. Lucy is that best kind of guide, clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject but able to communicate it in accessible and entertaining way. The tour itself is brilliant, you get a new appreciation of the buildings and see things you've not noticed before even if you've lived here for ages. I would absolutely reccomend this to anyone interested in architecture, Nottingham, history, victoriana and corners with turrets! Ooh, and stop at the Fothergil pub at the end the food is ace.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thanks Mark! I do love buildings with turrets!
