Nottingham 1936: A Timeless Portrait of a City on the Brink of Change

Through a collection of stunning black-and-white photographs, the book captures the everyday life of Nottingham in 1936, from bustling street scenes to intimate portraits of the people who lived and worked there.

The book begins with a brief to Nottingham in the 1930s. This was a time of great economic and social change, as the city transitioned from a traditional industrial center to a more modern and service-oriented economy. The photographs in the book reflect this transformation, capturing both the old and the new, the familiar and the strange.

One of the most striking things about the photographs in Nottingham 1936 is their sense of detail. Russell has an eye for the everyday, and his photographs capture the small moments that make up the fabric of life. We see people going about their daily routines, shopping, working, and socializing. We see the city's architecture, from grand Victorian buildings to humble terraced houses. And we see the people, from the well-dressed businessmen to the working-class women struggling to make ends meet.
