Situated on a high rock, Nottingham Castle commands spectacular views over the city. In the Middle Ages, it was a major royal fortress and occasional royal residence. The Duke of Newcastle built a mansion on the site after it had been largely demolished in 1649. Today, the castle is open as an art gallery and museum.
Messenger was instructed as a subcontractor to G F Tomlinson on this particular project, tasked with carrying out the external masonry works to the Ducal Palace and Gate House.
The redeveloped site includes a new visitors centre and remodelling of the grounds, as well as new Robin Hood and Rebellion galleries to tell the story of the city’s outlaw and history of rebellion.
