EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, Nottingham EAW025936, taken by Aerofilms Ltd on the 15th of August 1949, offers a unique perspective of Nottingham, England, during a pivotal moment in its history. The image showcases the city's progressive development, with the new, H-shaped County Hall (centre left) under construction. Beyond the County Hall, the photograph reveals Nottingham's rich sporting heritage. Three major sporting venues are distinctly visible: Trent Bridge cricket ground, located centre right, is a testament to Nottingham's long-standing connection to cricket. The River Trent, meandering through the city, separates Trent Bridge from the homes of Nottingham Forest and Notts County, the city's two professional football clubs. Forest's City Ground is located near the top left corner, while Notts County's Meadow Lane is visible on the opposite side of the river, towards the bottom right. This photograph not only highlights the city's architectural and sporting achievements but also encapsulates the essence of Nottingham's vibrant history. The confluence of the Trent and the River Leen, the winding waterways, and the lush greenery of the parks add to the captivating scene. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into Nottingham's development and its enduring love for sports.
