Debate rages but what do you folks think of the Notts flag? Does it serve its purpose? 🏹

The flag was registered in 2011.

The image of Robin Hood at the centre of St George’s Cross marks the county’s location at the centre of England.

Robin is drawn from the outline of the statue outside Castle.

Bespoke Canadian family tour around the goes down a treat 🎯

It might be cold out these but dipping into Nottingham's fine watering holes and/or coffee shops makes a great occasion for stimulating conversation. The gents here had engineering backgrounds so the evolution of the industrial town and the innovations that made it so was right up their street. They were then pointed in the direction of the Nottingham Industrial Museum so they could carry on being impressed by this great city.

The famous Robin Hood statue taking shape in its sculptor's hands.

The big irony is that the statue was a gift to the city by a rich business man Philip Clay, who was concerned that there was nothing here on the RH front for visitors. Funny that.

This cross-written letter was sent on this day 200 years ago and shows just how far letter writing and communication has come in the last two centuries.

Cross-written letters were a means of getting around an early 19th century law that those who received letters were the ones who paid for them. Not only that, recipients were charged PER PAGE, so to avoid ripping off your friends and family, many decided to cross write their message to avoid paying for more than one piece of paper. After that it was only the small matter of deciphering it 🥴
