City of Caves and the Justice Museum

3rd July 2023

Two final activities from our Nottingham visit were the City of Caves and Justice Museum. We had no idea that Nottingham was built on such a vast system of caves!

Later on the caves were used as air raid shelters during the war.

Next stop – Justice Museum (I know, sounds dry but had great reviews and lived up to these!).

Off with his head!

Now which one was it?

The Gallows courtyard

They had a few interactive sessions. We sat in on a mock trial (based on a real case from history and Kim was chosen to be the jailer)

And that, your Honour, was the end of our adventures in Nottingham!
