Item description from seller

A scarce account of Nottingham"s medieval town wall, illustrated with plates and maps documenting its remains before they were erased in the wake of modern developments. In the publisher's original red cloth binding.This copy includes seven black-and-white photographic plates and three multi-folding maps and plans, and a frontispiece. Collated, complete. This volume documents the recent excavations and exposures of Nottingham's medieval town wall during late-19th-century development. Shipman's work serves as a valuable record of Nottingham"s vanished fortifications just before they were lost to urban development.James Shipman (d.â 1901) was a passionate local antiquarian and journalist who delighted in uncovering Nottingham"s medieval past In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart. Rubbing and bumping to extremities resulting in slight loss to cloth. Bumping at upper perimeter of front boards causing a very small indentation with small closed tearing. Extract from the Nottinghamshire Guardian from 1903, titled "Recent Explorations on the West Side of Nottingham Castle", affixed to rear endpaper. Previous owner's ink inscriptions to front endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with the odd spot, heavier to fore edge and first and last few leaves. One or two closed tears to two of the folding plates. Small ink annotations made on tape to margins of pages xi and xii. Slight offsetting to introduction page. Good.
