Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England - 02/19/17

Nottingham is a city and unitary authority area in Nottinghamshire, England. 

Despite not being formally recognized as a University city, Nottingham is place to one of the most famous universities (at least on the internet) Nottingham University, and Nottingham Trent University - It's officially named Home of English Sport and the Unesco City of Literature, as one of only a handful in the world.





This is the trail we made reaching Nottingham, on the 10th day after arriving in Europe.






After each stop, some Habiticans were frequenting local Lan houses and browsing the web. With their never-ending search for knowledge they began looking for science videos, that's when they discovered Brady Haran's channels, most importantly "Nottingham Science". Since then we made a plan to visit the university.





This is the Old Market Square. As suggested by it's name, this square, which is the largest in England, is even older than the city of Nottingham itself. The square used to be the centre-point between two old Anglo-Saxon towns; Snotengaham, and a town which was based around where St. Mary's Church currently is. Being such a large square, it was and still is place to many important events, such as Weihnachtsmarkt on Christmas, nominations and protests (mostly during the industrial revolution). The building in the square is the Council House, in comparison to the Square the building is only a child, being built as late as 1920.




Finally! The University of Nottingham, here we meet all the professors with are now celebrities to us.

Enough from studying, back to travelling. - This is Nottingham Station, built in 1848 by Midland Railway. It is both a railway station and a tram stop serving the city of Nottingham






Lastly we went to The Albert Hall concert venue to see classical plays. Unfortunately we forgot about the details of the play during our recollection.
