Description

Every corner of Nottingham is rich in history, and if the streets could talk they might tell of the people and events they have witnessed. Many ancient secrets have remained untold, such as the purpose of the great Viking ‘long-house’ found beneath the site of a demolished Victorian factory, and who built the ancient mound that once marked the site of the spot where a king of England raised his standard. Perhaps the city’s greatest secret of all lies beneath its streets – a labyrinth of over 500 man-made caves. Visitors to Nottingham are often told not to stamp their feet too hard as they never quiet know where they will end up. Father and son authors Frank and Joe Earp are privy to these and many more of Nottingham’s secrets. Come with them as they share their knowledge within the pages of this book.

Author's Bio

With an interest in folklore, mythology and local history for over 40 years, Frank E. Earp has established himself as one of Nottinghamshire's leading folklorists and historians. For the last six years he has been a feature writer for a local free newspaper, The Post Lite, contributing a weekly column on local history, legends, folklore and fascinating facts. Born in 1951, in a haunted house in Wollaton, Frank has taken more than a passing interest in the paranormal. In the late '60s he involved himself in the U.F.O. phenomena and later Earth Mysteries, a subject he still writes about today. Joseph Earp is a Nottingham-based historian and writer. He has already written five books on Nottingham local history including: Nottingham From Old Photographs, Secret Nottingham, Victorian and Edwardian Nottingham Through Time, Secret Beeston and Lost Nottingham. Joseph also runs the Nottingham Hidden History Team. Joseph has also appeared on BBC East Midlands Today and BBC Radio Nottingham as historical advisor for the programme on Huntingdon Beaumont and Britain’s first railway line. He has also wrote a series of local history articles for the Nottingham Post, Nottingham Bygones, The Topper Newspaper and Our Nottinghamshire website. Joseph is currently History Editor for the Beestonian magazine. He also regularly writes for LeftLion Magazine, his previous Street Tales series being particularly popular with LeftLion readers.
