  • Interesting to Know September
    September 2019 Chaplains visit people in their place of work to offer friendship and to listen. Their support is unconditional, non-judgmental, independent and confidential. Interesting to Know.......... Employment continues to increase, with three-quarters of this year’s growth being due to more women working. However, the number of vacancies has been falling for six months, with fewer now than there were this time last year. Henry Boot Developments has been awarded exclusive rights to transform the Central Library on Angel Row into Grade A office space. They are also involved in the regeneration of the former Imperial Tobacco factory - currently underway. In 2018, there were 19.1 million families in the UK, an increase of 8% from 17.7 million in 2008. The City Council spent £4.4 million on cleaning the city streets in the last financial year. This works out at a cost of £13.38 per head of the city’s population. Half the Premier League football teams and 16 out of 24 Championship sides are sponsored by gambling firms. Financial services company Talbot and Muir has doubled its presence in Nottingham by taking out more office space in the city centre. The firm has moved from an office in Clarendon Street to set up its new headquarters in Maid Marian Way.

Project Partners National Justice Museum (Bev Baker) – Lead Project Partner Nottingham Trent University (Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem) University of Sheffield (Paul Johnson) Project Stakeholders/steering group Nottingham City Council (Ron Inglis –Service Manager, Nottingham City Museums and Galleries; Scott Lomax – Acting City Archaeologist for Nottingham) Historic England (Tim Allen – Inspector of Ancient Monuments) University of Nottingham (Christopher Loveluck – Professor of Mediaeval European Archaeology) Trent & Peak Archaeology (David Knight – Head of Research; Howard Jones – Regional Director) British Geological Survey (Marcus Dobbs – Engineering Geologist) The partnership established through the MUPI Match (East Midlands) event is active and has plans to continue working towards the aims of the project in the future. Purpose To explore what could be achieved not only for the City of Caves but the wider cultural offer of the caves in Nottingham. The partnership aimed to consider advances in technology, and the possible usage of immersive applications to engage visitors to the City of Caves, as well as non-visitors by creating virtual access from street level, directly above the caves systems, as a means of engaging the wider community and translating that engagement into actual visitors to the City of Caves, and the other cave heritage sites within the city.

  • What We Do Best Edward Hammond – a Budding Young Historian Great
    Working together: what we do best Volume 2, Issue 21, May 2017 Edward Hammond – A Budding Young Historian My name’s Edward, and I’m the son of local historian and archaeologist Peter Hammond. Through my inherent love of history (which should be of no surprise to anyone, hopefully!) I have started to design a number of talks on a very wide range of topics, with my earliest time frame covering the Second Punic War (216-201BC) and my latest focussing on the Napoleonic Wars! With my talks so far, I aim to deliver new perspectives on history, introduce people to fascinating new debates whilst conveying my passion and hopefully stimulating others’ interest. All of my talks have the goal of providing compelling insights into our past which make up for an enjoyable evening of history! I am currently studying for a degree in History at Nottingham Trent University and recently completed a historical study for the National Justice Museum. Current talks (more to come in the future!): • Hannibal Barca: Rome’s Greatest Adversary - A PowerPoint presentation telling the story of Hannibal and his epic journey across the Alps to confront the Romans in their homeland. The talk also introduces you to the debates around the history and Hannibal’s decision making. Included with the talk is a series of handouts with in-depth information about the types of soldiers which comprised the Carthaginian and Roman armies. Viewers will also have the opportunity to handle a replica Gladius (with care!) • The Napoleonic Wars at Home? - A presentation discussing the extent of the impact of the Napoleonic Wars on domestic life in Nottinghamshire during the early 19th century, with a focus on the Luddites, the Pentrich Revolution, and the debate around economic and political motives at the time.
