I like to do different posts now and again, this is a post about Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England, U.K. So here we go,
Nottingham is a city and unitary authority in the East Midlands, and is one of only eight members of the English Core Cities Group. Due to the history of this historic city, the population is quite low for a large city, it is around 288,700. But that is because of her borders that go around the city, meaning that will never have a large amount of people living within the walls.
On the other hand, outside the walls the population is around 667,000, which actually makes this urban area population the seventh-largest in the United Kingdom. On the ranking list this city is between Liverpool and Sheffield.

The city of Nottingham is famed for its links with the legend of a man named Robin Hood, who used to supposingly help the poor and steal from the rich, back in the medieval times.
Also I bet you did not know that this city is also famous for the Industrial Revolution, obtained worldwide recognition for its lace-making industry.
It was granted its city charter as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria in 1897 and has since been officially titled the City of Nottingham. So there is alot to know and learn about the city of Nottingham.
I have also learn’t recently that Nottingham as alot more women living there than men and supposingly, alot of beautiful women. So all you single guys should come and visit Nottingham.
