This postcard features Nottingham Castle, a historic fortress located on a rocky outcrop in Nottingham, England. The image captures the castle prominently on the hill, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees. The print quality indicates it belongs to the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I in 1918, which lends a historical context to its imagery. Nottingham Castle has a rich history, dating back to the 11th century when it was founded by the Normans. It has served various roles over the centuries, including being a royal residence and a military stronghold. The castle was a significant symbol during various historical events, including the English Civil War. In more recent history, it has been extensively restored and serves as a museum today, reflecting its importance in English heritage. The noticeable text on the postcard reads "32697. NOTTINGHAM CASTLE." This aligns with the postcard's content, identifying the subject depicted. There are no identifiable people in this image, making it solely focused on the architectural structure and its surroundings.
