Uncoloured postcard showing a view of the grounds of Nottingham Castle, seen from the castle and looking towards the gate. Ink: [personal message] [address in Worcester supplied]. Nottingham Castle was originally built (as a wooden structure) under the orders of William the Conqueror, and rebuilt in stone in the following century; it was demolished in 1649, and replaced in the 1670s by a baronial mansion using the original foundations, but this was burned down in reform riots in 1832; it was restored in 1875-8 by T. C. Hine for use as a civic museum, and further restored in 1908. Nothing has been found so far about the history of the grounds
