Angel Row Local History Forum: A new open local history forum for Nottingham
Nottingham's Central Library on Angel Row is a great place to meet, with plenty of buses stopping outside and nearby to all parts of Greater Nottingham and as far afield as Bingham, East Leake and Newark.

Nottingham's newly refurbished Central Library on Angel Row in the city centre hosted the first of the Angel Row Local History Forums organised by NLHA on Tuesday, 15 February 2011.
The new forum is for anyone with an active interest in local history. How they develop will be down to participants as much as NLHA, but the intention is to encourage topical discussion and the sharing of information about all kinds of local history related activities in and around Nottingham. We want to create an atmosphere where there can be leisurely discourse and the chance to talk with others not only during the forums, but before and after.
There will be time at every Forum for Local Studies Library and Archives staff to tell us all their latest news and about any activities they have planned.
The Angel Row Local History Forums have been arranged with the aim of giving as many people as possible the opportunity to attend at least two meetings.
Nottingham Central Library is easily reached by public transport and there are plenty of places close by where you can buy drinks and snacks. We also hope to arrange Forum 'away days' (ideas please) and to generate spin-off groups, as those attending the forums get to know one another better. We look forward to seeing you.
