Did You Know?Nottingham is a city in central Midlands region. It’s known for its role in the Robin Hood legend and for the hilltop Castle Museum and Art Gallery, rebuilt many times since the medieval times. Many celebrities and well-known personalities have a long association with Nottingham – the Boot family, founders of Boots the Chemists pharmacy, Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson, poet Lord Byron, fashion designer, Sir Paul Smith, and Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice. Not for the faint of heart. The Caves of Nottingham are a network of endlessly winding passages below the streets of the city. It boasts the UK’s largest network of over 800 subterranean caves that has history chiseled into its limestone structure Every single Bramley apple is descended from the same tree in a Nottingham garden. Bramley apples are so popular in Japan that in 2012 a group of Japanese tourists flew to the UK specifically to visit that tree. One of the most unusual facts about Nottingham is where its name comes from. Around 600AD, the town was under the control of an Anglo-Saxon tribe called the Snotingas, where the chief was called ‘Snot’, meaning caves. They called the town ‘Snotengaham’, or literally ‘the homestead of Snot’s people’. Now, many inns across the country clamber for this title so we can’t be 100% sure it’s definitely the oldest, however Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem claims to have been established in 1189. It sits beneath the cliff just under Nottingham’s historic castle. The Goose Fair, today, is most famous for its rides and attractions. However, it is an interesting fact that this fair has actually started as a livestock trading event in 1284. The festival became widespread, primarily due to the excellent cheese served.
