Book Synopsis History & Antiquities of Nottingham, Vol.1. 1840 by : Rev.d James Orange
Book excerpt: This is the third of a series of four books detailing the history of Nottingham. The previous three are The Nottingham Date Book 850 - 1845. Thoroton's, 1797. and John Blacknere's of 1815. This book contains many historic facts about Nottingham. The town began in the 6th century as a small settlement called Snottaingaham. Nottingham was originally a fortified settlement or burgh. The town had a ditch around it and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top. In 920 the English king recaptured Nottingham and he built a bridge across the Trent. Nottingham was famous for its Lace during the industrial revolution. Today it is the City of Nottingham.
