This busy centre is famous for
the manufacture of hosiery and lace. It is now a
suburb of the City of Nottingham and has both the
county’s fire brigade and police constabulary
within its boundaries. In the 12th century it was
part of the great Sherwood Forest, small parts of
which still survive. The birthplace of painter
Richard Parkes Bonington, it has a fine parish
church that dates back to the late 13th century.
The remains of a Roman settlement can be found at
Cockpit Hill. |
