EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, Nottingham EAW050484 from the Historic England Archive, offers a unique perspective of Nottingham city centre as it appeared in July 1953. Taken by Aerofilms Ltd, this image beautifully showcases the urban landscape between the iconic Nottingham Castle and the imposing Council House. The Castle, perched atop its rocky outcrop, stands proudly with its crenellated walls and towering keep, a testament to the city's rich history. The Castle's moat, now a tranquil green space, reflects the architectural beauty of this historic site. Directly below, the Council House, with its grandiose design and impressive dome, commands attention as the seat of local government. The surrounding streets are a mosaic of various architectural styles, from the post-war modernism of the new buildings to the traditional red-brick structures of the older districts. The image also reveals the intricate network of roads and pathways that crisscross the city centre, providing a glimpse into the daily life of Nottingham in the 1950s. The photograph's clear, crisp lines and vibrant greens highlight the city's urban planning and the lush, verdant landscapes that intersperse the concrete and brick. This aerial photograph not only serves as a historical document but also as a stunning piece of art, inviting us to explore the past and appreciate the evolution of Nottingham's cityscape.
