Nottingham's Council House is a symbol of civic pride, built in the 1920s to reflect the aims, ambitions and hopes of the city fathers, and still an icon for Nottinghamians resident and exiled.
By tracing the background to the Council House, the process of designing and building it, and the extent to which it has become an internationally recognised statement of Nottingham's standing in the world, this book shows for the first time how it came to be built and what it still means today.
56 pages, with 10 colour photographs and 46 black & white photographs or illustrations.
