INSIDE ????????ROBIN HOOD ????Nottingham Castle⚜️

Nottingham Castle is a castle in Nottingham, England. It is located in a commanding position on a natural promontory known as Castle Rock, with cliffs 130 feet (40 m) high to the south and west. In the Middle Ages it was a major royal fortress and occasional royal residence. In decline by the 16th century, it was largely demolished in 1649. The Duke of Newcastle later built a mansion on the site, which was burnt down by rioters in 1831 and left as a ruin. It was later rebuilt to house an art gallery and museum, which remain in use. Little of the original castle survives, but sufficient portions remain to give an impression of the layout of the site.

After the restoration of Charles II in 1660, the present 'Ducal Mansion' was built by Henry Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Newcastle between 1674 and 1679 on the foundations of the previous structure. Despite the destruction of the keep and fortifications of the upper bailey, some rock cut cellars and medieval pointed arches survive beneath the mansion, together with a long passage to the bottom of the rock, commonly known as Mortimer's Hole, through which guided tours take place, starting at the Castle and ending at Brewhouse Yard.

The mason for the Mansion was Samuel Marsh of Lincoln, who also worked for the Duke at Bolsover Castle. His designs are generally thought to have been strongly influenced by Rubens's engravings, in his book Palazzi di Genova.The Duke's mansion is a rare surviving example in England of Artisan Mannerist architecture.

However, it lost its appeal to the later Dukes with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, which left Nottingham with the reputation of having the worst slums in the British Empire outside India. When residents of these slums rioted in 1831, in protest against the Duke of Newcastle's opposition to the Reform Act 1832 they burned down the mansion.

The original exterior stairs on the eastern façade of the mansion were subsequently demolished to create a parade ground for the Robin Hood Rifles.

The mansion remained a derelict shell until it was restored in 1875 by Thomas Chambers Hine, and opened in 1878 by the Prince of Wales, (later King Edward VII) as Nottingham Castle Museum, the first municipal art gallery in the UK outside London. The new interiors ignored the original floor levels and fenestration to accommodate a top-lit picture gallery modelled after the Grand Gallery of the Louvre.

The gatehouse of the medieval castle and much of the walling of the outer bailey was retained as a garden wall for the Ducal mansion. However, the northernmost part of the outer bailey was lost when an approach road was constructed in the 1830s for the development of The Park Estate on the former deer park.

On Christmas Day 1996 a landslip, caused by a leaking water main, led to 80 tonnes of earth and retaining wall from the Restoration terrace next to the Mansion falling to the bottom of the Castle rock. This revealed some remains of the original castle foundations and the bedrock. After a lengthy controversy on the best conservation/restoration approach, the terrace was reinstated with a traditional stone façade. The terrace offers great views to the south of the city, and appeared in the film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, a groundbreaking film about the changing attitude of youth in a changing industrial society.

A drawing of the Ducal Mansion appeared on millions of packets of rolling tobacco and cigarettes made by John Player & Sons, a Nottingham firm. Most packets had the phrases Nottingham Castle and Trade Mark bracketing the image of the non-fortress-like structure. This led the novelist Ian Fleming to refer to that extraordinary trademark of a dolls house swimming in chocolate fudge with Nottingham Castle written underneath. in Thunderball in the knowledge that his British readers would be familiar with the image.

The building is due to undergo a multi-million renovation in 2018.

Nottingham is a city and unitary authority area in Nottinghamshire, England, located 128 miles north of London, in the East Midlands. Nottingham has links to the legend of Robin Hood and to the lace-making, bicycle and tobacco industries. Nottingham was granted its city charter in 1897 as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Nottingham is a tourist destination; in 2011, visitors spent over £1.5 billion – the thirteenth highest amount in England's 111 statistical territories.

Nottingham has an award-winning public transport system, including the largest publicly owned bus network in England and is also served by Nottingham railway station and the modern Nottingham Express Transit tram system.

Nottingham is also a major sporting centre, and in October 2015 was named 'Home of English Sport'. The National Ice Centre, Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre, and Trent Bridge international cricket ground are all based in or around the city, which is also the home of two professional league football teams; the world's oldest professional league club Notts County, and Nottingham Forest, famously two-time winners of the UEFA European Cup under Brian Clough in 1979 and 1980. The city also has professional rugby, ice hockey and cricket teams, and the Aegon Nottingham Open, an international tennis tournament on the ATP and WTA tours. This accolade came just over a year after Nottingham was named as the UK's first City of Football.

On 11 December 2015, Nottingham was named a City of Literature by UNESCO, joining Norwich, Melbourne, Prague and Barcelona as one of only a handful in the world. The title reflects Nottingham's literary heritage, with Lord Byron, DH Lawrence and Alan Sillitoe having links to the city.

It has two universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, which are attended by over 70,610 students—with 43,765 at the University of Nottingham, and Nottingham Trent University having 26,845, according to the respective University websites.

Phantasmagoria at the Museum of Nottingham Life, part of Light Night 2013.

Phantasmagoria multi-video installation project has been part of the Nottingham City Light Night at the Brewhouse Yard, Museum of Nottingham Life.

The Brewhouse Yard Museum is situated in five remaining 17th-century cottages and used to house many generations, at one point it was occupied by a population of 127 people.

The project related to the life of people who lived in this place during Victorian times, and consisted of 5 back projections, played on a loop in the windows of the Museum.
This shadow theatre was filmed at the Confetti studio, where volunteers
recreated possible life situations from the Victorian era.
The inspiration for the project was the Museum collection and the unique site where the Museum is placed.


The use of silhouettes in the project come from the shadow theatre which has a long history in China, India, Java, Turkey, Greece, Syria and North Africa. I have also been influenced by the work of Krzysztof Wodiczko, Jenny Holzer and Rafael Lozano- Hemmer. The title relates to Phantasmagoria shows - work of physicist and stage magician Etienne Gaspard Robertson.

I’m very happy that I was given an opportunity to be involved in the Phantasmagoria project.
It was a pleasure to work with so many dedicated people.

Feeling Brighter – Using museum collections for Health and Wellbeing

Jo Kemp and Louise Button-Lowth (Nottingham Museums)

For the first time in global history, by 2020 adults aged 65 and over will outnumber children under 5. Those proportions will continue to grow in opposite directions and by 2050 there will be twice as many older people as children. With an ageing population the health and wellbeing of our communities is a high priority for government and local authorities, and museums are well placed to deliver to this agenda. This presentation will address the ways in which Nottingham Museums & Galleries’ engagement work has health and wellbeing at its heart, and how our collections are connecting with communities.

Last Look Around Nottingham Castle

Last Look Around Nottingham Castle.
A quick look around Nottingham castle before it closes for 2 years while a new visitor centre is being built, they're also doing an archaeological dig before this work is done. I had limited time in there so it's only a brief look around, the views over the city are incredible.
