These rare historical pictures show what life was like in Nottinghamshire before World War One

We have dug into the archives to bring you these wonderful images which capture life around Nottinghamshire over a century ago.

The images show a different looking county with traditional ways of life, Nottingham Forest in 1913 and the England Test cricket XI in 1899 in what was WG Grace's final Test at Trent Bridge all featuring,

We also have an elephant making its way through Bulwell when the circus came to town, the Goose Fair in 1907 and 1908 and a nod to Nottingham’s lace industry.

That, and plenty more, in this cracking gallery. Take a look and enjoy.
