内容説明
This major new study of Nottingham over the past one thousand years is the most comprehensive account of the city's development ever produced. Nottingham's past is studied from its Anglo-Saxon origins to the modern industrial and commercial centre of the late twentieth century. The first part looks briefly at the origins of settlement in the area and then at the evolution of the medieval town growing up in the shadow of its Norman castle. The second part lays special emphasis on the urban renewal of the period from the mid-seventeenth century onwards, and on the development of the hosiery industry which produced, as the third argues, a major industrial town by the late eighteenth century. Unfortunately, the town grew in upon itself and became a slum, a situation reserved only slowly in the second half of the nineteenth century. the fourth part continues to the present day, examining the physical growth of the town as its Old Market Square has come to typify the commercial heart of the modern city. Although the story is told chronologically, different themes including politics, leisure and education are separately treated.
