About Nottingham: Take the train to Nottingham rail station and stay at the nearby Jurys Inn in Nottingham. Discover for yourself this city and its surrounding Nottingham Forest. A Saxon town Nottingham has been a very successful city over the years. It was a hot bed of trading between the Saxons and Normans, when good old William the Conqueror (see London) built a castle there. The castle remained an important bhold and most medieval monarchs regularly decamped there. The castle only lasted until the late 17th century when it was bashed in the civil war, and superseded by a palace. About 100 years later Nottingham became the place for lace, and boomed, the population exploded 5 fold in 5 decades, the fall out of which was the emergence of a sizable slum. In 1810 hard times invoked the Luddite revolution, a band of furious former workers who vandalised the commercial centres and selected private individuals. The consistent uprisings of the area eventually calmed down with the clearing of the last of the slums in the 19th century.
