Nottingham : Britain
Nottingham is a city located in Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands of England. Nottingham lies on the River Trent, which flows from Stoke-on-Trent to the Humberthe only major English river to flow north. Nottingham’s boundaries are tightly drawn and exclude the suburbs of Hucknall, Arnold, Carlton, West Bridgford, Tollerton, Ruddington, Beeston, Long Eaton, Stapleford, and Ilkeston, some of which are actually in Derbyshire.
The 2001 census recorded a population of 270,300 in Nottingham itself, with around 613,723 people living in the surrounding conurbation (Greater Nottingham). The nearby East Midlands City of Leicester has slightly more people than the City of Nottingham, but its metropolitan area is not as big as Nottingham’s.
Nottingham is famous for its involvement in lace-making, its association with the legendary outlaw Robin Hood, and the supposedly exceptional beauty of its young women. Perhaps not unrelatedly, Nottingham is also nationally famous for the high ratio of females to males, given at various times as between 3:1 to 6:1. In 2001, however, the official ratio was published as 1.015:1.

Bobbies on the beat and double-decker buses, thatched cottages and country houses, village pubs and cream teas, eccentric aristocrats and people constantly shaking hands, saying “How d’you do?” and discussing the weather. Until recently England was generally thought of as a gentle, fabled land freeze-framed sometime in the 1930s, home of the post office, country pub and vicarage.
