Nottingham
is a city (and county town of Nottinghamshire) in the East Midlands of
England. The centre of Nottingham lies on the River Leen and its southern
boundary follows the course of the River Trent, which flows from Stoke to
the Humber. According to the 2001 census, Nottingham has an estimated city
population of 275,100 which increased to an estimated 278,700 in 2005,
while the Nottingham Urban Area conurbation (which includes surrounding
suburbs outside the city boundary, and neighbouring towns) has a
population of 666,358 (2001 figures) [1]. Nottingham is a member of the
English Core Cities Group.
The heart of Nottingham City Centre is the Old Market Square, which is
undergoing a major redevelopment during 2006. Most of the main shopping
streets surround the square. The Council House, whose disproportionately
tall dome can be seen for miles around, is at the top of the square.
Inside of the Council House is the Exchange Arcade, a shopping centre. A
bohemian quarter of the city known as Hockley has arisen in recent years;
this is situated close to the attractively redeveloped Lace Market area. Robin Hood statue in Nottingham
