The first is of the the council building on slab square, a lovely cosmopolitan area of Nottingham that’s nearly always lively with something happening, a lot of people pick it as a meeting place and at weekends there’s usually an attraction of some sort. Most people like to just sit on the adjoining walls in summer and just chill out. Surrounding the square are lots of shops and bars, its an area where there’s something for everyone.
The second picture is the tram which has come down Victoria street and is picking up passengers at the side of slab square, none of those cramped tubes here (Em’s and Pat take note!!).
Lastly here is a photo of the Trip to Jerusalem pub (borrowed), allegedly the oldest in England and a place where knights would gather to have a drink before embarking on the Crusades, though they probably would have had a drink in the next town! The pub nestles below Nottingham castle at the front of sandstone rocks, it’s more of a touristy pub really.

Excellent! I thought the buildings in the background of slab square look quite continental and then there is the tram - just like when I lived in Strabourg. They are a revelation and sadly lacking from the capital.
Surprisingly my favourtie old London pubs are quite free of tourists - possibly because they don't proclaim to be the oldest.
ugh - ugly place.
(but then it is not london so it would have to be!)
