I took a journey back in time thanks to these rare historic pictures from around Nottinghamshire

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,

There’s a state funeral for Queen Victoria in 1901. 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.

Victoria died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, on 22 January 1901 after a reign which lasted almost 64 years, the longest in British history. She was buried at Windsor beside Prince Albert, in the Frogmore Royal Mausoleum, which she had built for their final resting place. Photo: Heritage Images/Getty Images
