Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire is an historic county of England. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)
From The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, (1870-72):
A midland county; bounded, on the NW, by Yorkshire; on the NE and the E, by Lincolnshire; on the SE and the S, by Leicestershire; on the W, by Derbyshire.
Forests anciently covered great part of the county; that of Sherwood alone was of large extent; and some slight remains, including grand specimens of very old oaks, still exist.
Framework-knitting is carried on in all the towns and villages of the S, and has its centre in Nottingham. The manufacture of bobbin-net, fine laces, and thread also abounds in the S, and is very extensive in Nottingham.
The county-town is Nottingham; the towns with each more than 2,000 inhabitants are Nottingham, Newark, East Retford, Mansfield, Worksop, and Southwell; and there are about 440 smaller towns, villages, and hamlets.
Also known as Notts.
