Open Homes workspaceAbout Nottingham
Nottingham is bound up with the legend of Robin Hood and the medieval Sherwood Forest, and its castle sits above a warren of caves cut into the sandstone beneath the city. It grew wealthy on lace-making and textiles in the 19th century and was home to famous names such as Boots the Chemist, Raleigh bicycles and Player's tobacco. Today Nottingham is a major East Midlands city with two universities, a compact and walkable centre and a large student population, all of which sustain a busy rental market.
