The Church (Rock) Cemetery, Nottingham
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
I’ve been to the Rock Cemetery, next to the Forest Recreation Ground, a number of times to take photographs (as you’ll see it contains some lovely monuments) but the main reason for my visit on this occasion was to make a pilgrimage of sorts to the grave of Watson Fothergill, the Nottingham architect I’ve written about a number of times.

Prudential Building, Nottingham
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
At the junction of Queen and King Streets in Nottingham stands what began as the Prudential Building, though lately it’s seen a succession of restaurants fail to stick around and is currently vacant. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse it’s a stunning building in beautiful red brick, one of 27 such buildings Waterhouse designed for the Prudential Assurance Company throughout the UK.

The Heathcote Buildings were erected in 1881 from a design by the Nottingham architects Walker and Howitt. Then, as now, it was built with shops in mind, though the top floor was a lace warehouse.

Thurland Hall is a Grade II listed pub in Nottingham city centre. The architect was G.S. Doughty and the building dates from around 1898-1900. The name Thurland Hall comes from the name of the house of the Earls of Clare which had stood nearby.

The Museum of Archaeology, University of Nottingham
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
While visiting the Dinosaurs of China exhibition at Lakeside Arts on the University of Nottingham campus we decided to pop next door and visit the Museum of Archaeology, which none of us had been to before. Focusing on artefacts that have been discovered in the East Midlands, the collection is housed in a single room but well worth a visit.

Dinosaurs of China Exhibition at Wollaton Hall, Nottingham
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
On Monday we went to visit the Dinosaurs of China Exhibition at Wollaton Hall which I’ve been very excited to see since it was first announced. Running until the end of October it is a display of dinosaur fossils and skeletons that have never been shown outside of Asia before, and includes the tallest dinosaur skeleton ever displayed in the UK, the magnificent Mamenchisaurus which you can see below.
