Places around University: Wollaton Hall

The spectacular Elizabethan mansion, 'Wollaton Hall', was built on a natural hill in Nottingham during the 16th century. This residential building is famous for it's historic 'Hall' and is surrounded by 500 acres of parkland. Except this it also houses the Natural History Museum and Nottingham Industrial museum.

There also is a massive collection of VINTAGE machinery in the Industrial Museum including working steam engines, ploughing machines, telephone exchange and even bicycles and motor-cycles. So that is the target now. I also came to know that, Nottingham has a very rich industrial heritage. Once upon a time it was famous for LACE making and having an importance in textile industry.

The lovely path through the 'Park-Land'...
