Broad Marsh and Narrow Marsh - The Story of a Nottingham Community
Broad Marsh and Narrow Marsh was one of the most highly-populated parts of Nottingham by the nineteenth century, notorious for its network of overcrowded yards and alleys. Yet it was also a flourishing community with a wide variety of busy shops and services.
This new exhibition brings together a range of archival documents, maps and photographs to explore the history of this unique part of the city.
The exhibition complements our book, Turning Back the Pages of Broad Marsh and Narrow Marsh, written by Nottinghamshire Archives staff and published in 2007.
Wheels of Fortune: The Story of Raleigh Cycles of Nottingham
This exhibition draws upon the archive of Raleigh Cycles, and features advertising material, photographs of the company and its workers, and even production and design records. It tells the story of the company and some of its most successful bicycles from its earliest days to modern times.
The original Wheels of Fortune exhibition was on display at the Weston Gallery, D H Lawrence Pavilion, Lakeside Arts Centre during 2008.
