About this Event
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 2km (1.25 miles) long and takes about 2 hours.
Please come prepared for all weather conditions and wear suitable footwear. We'll meet outside Nottingham Tourism Centre (next to Council House). What3Words: head.truth.wrong https://what3words.com/head.truth.wrong
Advanced booking is essential as places are limited.
There is another Deco in the Details walk but these can be done in any order.
Some feedback from previous events:
"Charisma and humour from the guide. She also provided lots of historical info without ever being dry or boring."
"I cannot recommend these walking tours enough."
