Book Synopsis History & Antiquities of Nottingham, Vol.2. 1840 by : Rev. James Orange
Book excerpt: This is volume 2 of James Orange History of Nottingham. During the Industrial Revolution, much of Nottingham's prosperity was founded on the textile industry; in particular, the city became an internationally important centre of lace manufacture. In 1831 citizens rioted in protest against the Duke of Newcastle's opposition to the Reform Act 1832, setting fire to his residence, Nottingham Castle.
