A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Power Tower
You may think that I took this photo somewhere in the countryside, as the church tower looks like it belongs in an English village. But you'd be wrong. This is St Nicholas' Church and is in the middle of Nottingham. Just a short walk from the Broad Marsh Centre. It was built in 1678, after the original one was destroyed during the English Civil War. It's only a small church, and I've never been inside, so I don't know if there are anything of interest like statues or unusual gravestones. There are a number of gravestones surrounding the church. Many though were lost when they built Maid Marian Way in the late 1960s.

Nice pleasing shot my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt does look as if you've been out driving down the country lanes. Great shot. It's good to see we still have lots of greenery in our cities, despite the ever growing spread of concrete.
