The Local History Group usually meet up once a month, usually on a Wednesday. We either go on a trip or have a talk from a speaker. We are not experts, but rather are just interested in history, particularly Nottingham history.
Last year's activities included talks on Victorian Nottingham and Air Ace Albert Ball VC, MC, and visits to Wollaton Hall, The Caves of Nottingham, St Giles Church, The Museum of Timekeeping, Papplewick Pumping Station.
If you would like to be added to the contact list, just let the leader know.
Details of upcoming trips and talks are given in our monthly newsletter Highlights (see here Publications for the latest editions).
Our outing in November will visit these fascinating old hand lace making equipment. They have a shop where we can peruse lace items.
