This is the third of a series of four books detailing the history of Nottingham. The previous three are The Nottingham Date Book 850 - 1845. Thoroton's, 1797. and John Blacknere's of 1815. This book contains many historic facts about Nottingham. The town began in the 6th century as a small settlement called Snottaingaham. Nottingham was originally a fortified settlement or burgh. The town had a ditch around it and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top. In 920 the English king recaptured Nottingham and he built a bridge across the Trent. Nottingham was famous for its Lace during the industrial revolution. Today it is the City of Nottingham.
This is volume 2 of James Orange History of Nottingham. During the Industrial Revolution, much of Nottingham's prosperity was founded on the textile industry; in particular, the city became an internationally important centre of lace manufacture. In 1831 citizens rioted in protest against the Duke of Newcastle's opposition to the Reform Act 1832, setting fire to his residence, Nottingham Castle.
