The Engineer 614 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Don't know much about it but they are holding an inaugural Nottinghamshire Day next Wednesday at County Hall to celebrate our Historic County, its heritage and culture. Flag raising ceremony at 11:30am. Headed up by Councillor Mike Quigley MBE (Chairman of the County Council) and Sir John Peace (Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,123 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 When I go into nearby Lincolnshire lots of houses have the Lincs. flag raised on a flagpole in their garden. You rarely see the Notts flag. displayed. Don’t we have pride in our county? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,123 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 The Nottinghamshire flag is a white- fimbriated symmetrical red cross on a green field with a white shield charged with a green silhouette of James Woodford’s bronze statue of Robin Hood. You didn’t expect that did you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,141 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Nothing you do surprises me Phil, I raise me hat to you. Gotta admit though, it looks more like a Home Breweries advert. I've got a coat of arms too ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,141 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 This should make RR ecstatic... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 The Nottinghamshire flag is awful and yes it does look as if the "designer" cut corners by repurposing the Home Ales logo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,088 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well, they did repurpose the Home Ales sign on the old HA brewery… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
