Delphine Turpin
When I first saw Southwell Cathedral it took my breath away; now I go there just to absorb it's beauty and the peace surrounding it.

Colwick hall
I spent a fantastic evening in Colwick hall, Its truley splendid!

Diane Wright
Greens Windmill. It is special, it has charm, authenticity, grinds organic flour in a renewable energy way, it has history and character plus the science museum. It has everything.

Richard
The Playhouse - An iconic and successful 60's building that I love just experiencing - and it works as a theatre too. Take the trip round if you get chance.(Mind you - Wollaton Hall comes close - but so different)

DUG
The Prudential Building in King/Queen Street and any other Watson Fothergill building.

Helen Briggs
Watson Fothergill's office on Broad street. Fascinating microcosm of all his most interesting features

J Michael Grayson
It has to be the Theatre Royal, for all sorts of reasons.

John and June Meredith
Southwell Minster because it is the finest building in Nottinghamshire without a doubt.

Mrs M E Tillotson - Wood
I am a Church Warden at Stauton St Mary's and I love Stouthwell Minster. he services I have been to there are brilliant the last one was the visitation for Church Wardens in the Nottingaham Area - so yes I give Southwell my vote.

Geoff Brown
The Theatre RoyalThe classical facade and exquisite inmterior make this a treasure in the fabric of Nottinghams architectural heritage

Derek Hollis
Southwell Minster - a centre of faith and worship for many generations

Julie
Theatre Royal - it's signifies Nottingham to me and is a beautiful building that has great entertainment too.

Brian Bateman
Ratcliffe Power Station This year it celebrates 40 years of providing power to the area.

C Lowe
Talbot House on Talbot Street. An elegant art deco building with decorative artwork, metalwork and graceful, curving brass hand rails at either side of the entrance steps. Judging from the scaffolding just erected it is about to have a facelift which will make it all the more stunning! I admire it every day when I pass by.

A S Amanullah
It has to be Colwick Hall. What a stunning building from both the inside and outside!!

Dawn Hazle
Trent Building, University of Nottingham: it was my home for 4 years when I was studying there! Perfect landmark from the South and you can hear the chimes all the way to the QMC.

Jo Cooper
It's got to be Wollaton Hall! Not just a fabulous building and grounds, but a place full of happy memories for me and my children.

Lucie Mellor
I love the Victoria Centre Flats and Nottingham Castle. The Flats because the view from some of them is awesome and somehow in there tall, concrete bareness they don't look a bit out of place and Nottingham Castle because its historic, the grounds are pretty and the views are brilliant!

S Newman
From your list - Colwick HallBut where are the Watson Fothergill nominations? And Hine's beautiful buildings? And Clifton Hall?

Geoffrey Greenhough
Southwell Minster the most historic building in Notts and the grandest

Angela
Wollaton hall is a unique example of Elisabethan architecture. It is the only builing in the list that is of national,let alone local, interest. The views from the prospect room are stunning!

William Swain
What an amazing entrance that leads you into an immense room with high ceilings and the original mosaic floors. The Hard Rock Cafe have done a fantastic job keeping the history alive in the building. The food is fabulous as well.

Mrs S. Beard
Colwick Hall is such a beautiful building with so much history and certainly deserves to be the winner.

evan
Wollaton Hall undoubtedly tops the lot.

JACOB SURESH
COLWICK HALL IS AMAZING WITH ITS GRANDOISE ARCHITECTURE AND THE LAKE SETTING MAKES IT RESPLENDENT AMONG ALL !

Rohan Manocha
The Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly Learning Resource centre of the Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham: Its futuristic design,and its cosmic appeal, one can only say, "Were words forgot or what"

Audrey
It has to be Wollaton Hall.When you walk up the drive and Wollaton Hall stands there in all its glory it takes your breath away.

Theatre Royal, Nottingham
Because it stands out as an acomplished bastion of Corinthian architecture and reminds us of the rich heritage of the midlands, despite Nottingham's ever growing cultural centre.

Southwell Minster
We like the two towers of the minster, they are quite romantic and look like something from a fairy tale story. The whole building takes our breath away.

Alan
Victoria Station Clocktower.The only remaining part of a once magnificent building.

Kim
I love Colwick Hall and im getting married there soon.

Robert Wragg
I can't believe there's no example of Fothergill Watson nor T C Hine! Colwick Hall should not be in this list. What about Thoresby Hall? The Lace Market is full of magnificent buildings: Adams Building, Broadway, St Mary's. And how about the Portland and Trent Buildings at the University?

Phil Allen
Colwick Hall What a beautiful place a worthy winner

Laura Short
Wollaton Hall - I pass it on my way to work and always crane my head to have a look!

John
Wollaton Hall is a wonderful building, complete with elegant setting. The Trent and Portland buildings at the University of Nottingham - very spectacular. And by the way, it's the HM Revenue & Customs HQ, not the Inland Revenue.

The Theatre Royal
It has style and grace and classical beauty

PHILIP COMPTON
THEATRE ROYAL NOTTINGHAMTHE MOST WELL RUN AND WELCOMING THEATRE IN THE COUNTRY.A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.

Nevill Swanson
Colwick Hall - it's iconic

Rebekah Barber
Colwick Hall!!!!

Matthew Beard
Colwick Hall is the most magnificent building, it has to be seen to be appreciated!

Danielle Lamy
Without a doubt Colwick Hall! It's set in a beautiful parkland and it has been lovingly restored to its former glory. They hosted our summer party outside in the lakeside pavilion last year. Everyone said it was a fantastic venue overlooking the lake!

Gerry Molumby
I like Newstead Abbey because of its roaming grounds. It has link with Benedictine monastic history and Nottingham's finest romantic poet Lord Byron.

Claire Mottershead
Colwick Hall - the grandeur of the building is so striking and in lovely surroundings.

Nichola Doherty
Our Ancessters would be proud of the restoration that has bought Colwick Hall back to its original beauty with a breath taking back drop of the lakes and gardens it is a magical place

Stu
Ye Olde Trip To JerusalemNewstead AbbeyThe Council House

dave
Wollaton hall, finally it's being restored to its former glory.

Christine
Southwell Minster simply 'takes my breath away'. It is a gem. I go there sometimes simply 'to be' and to pray in quiet contemplation..Not a building but the 'Rainbow Bridge'(610)alwys makes me gasp with delight. It reminds me of a ballet dancer leaping across the abyss.The Arkwight Building is something special too. It is beautiful to loook at, but also as a library it is where as a child I nurtured my love of literature.

Ralph Tonge
Has to be the Adams Building on Stoney Street - fabulous historical building, and I'm lucky enough to work in it!

S.Cowling
Wollaton Hall,it has eveything,beautiful architecture,wonderful grounds,superb lake.

jennygilbert
newstead abbey, home of Lord Byron. Best courting place ever. romantic,magestic,etheral,magical,lovely,beautiful,wonderful,happy,fun-filled and then best family day out ever! Take the walk from the bus stop up to the abbey,(takes 1/2hr but worth it if the rhodenanrons are in bloom, if not it's still a good walk!)Visit the abbey,check out the tribute to 'Boatswain' (Bosun),see the chinese gardens, 'duck for cover' and then enjoy a picnic on the lawns with the peacocks.Great venue to get married also!

Mark Mugaseth
Nottingham Castle as you can see it from every part of Nottingham

Simon Heath
Southwell Minster will get my vote, as i think it is one of the most beautiful buildings in the uk.

jenny gilbert
it has to be 'the trip' (Trip to Jerusalem), it may be the side of a rock but it was formed into an 'alehouse' and used by those off to the 'holy wars'.It is still used and visited by people from the world over today.

howard
1st Southwell Minster.2nd Wollaton Hall and 3rd Theatre Royal.

james macdonald
without doubt it has to be wollaton hall. the architecture is magnificent and the detail in the building is magnificent all of which is topped off with the beautifil grounds surrounding!

Adam Malster
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem.Drinking in a cave! Smart.

patrick wright
Lord Nelson's in Sneinton. Very cosy with fantastic beer and great service

joseph
wollaton hall great for parks mostly clean very nice being re-built i think the meusem is great and the gardens in cluding the lakes and golf courses football you have got every thing there shops food stores and even people like it that much they even have family picknicks out there with the raindears they have a park and lots of fun stuff for kids and even older people like me XXXXXX WOLLATON HALL NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

Al Joyce
Soutwell Minster, just amazing to think how it has outlived so many generations of buildings and with the early mediaeval columns so tactile

Pete Wardman (BBC Radio Nottingham's Lunchtime Pre
For me it's got to be Wollaton Hall. Designed by Robert Smythson and completed in 1588, it's now the home to the city's Natural History Museum. I grew up spending so much of my time as a kid in Wollaton Park that the hall almost feels like a spiritual home. That's why I'll be championing for your votes for Wollaton Hall on BBC Radio Nottingham's Lunchtime show (weekdays : 12noon-2pm). Pete Wardman.

suzanne
Wollaton Hall! Lovely, lovely, lovely. Situated in a gigantic park with lake and deer and pathways and a golf course and gardens... absolutely stunning!

bob renshaw
Daybrook Laundry. A sadly negleected building. One of one example in Notts of 1930s modernism.Ompton waterworks. An original 1970s solution.Nottingham Playhouse. A fine example of 1960s modernism.

Pete Garrigan
The wonderful Southwell Minster

Mohammed Ajouz
It is undoubtedly Wollaton Hall... a magnificant piece of English history that defies our shaky present times and speaks volums of an era of novelty and excitment.

Claire Brown
Southwell Minster for its magnificent arhitecture of the norman nave to the more intricate chapter house and choir.

sally
wollaton hall The Council House

Anton Wilson
For me, it has to be the Queens' Chambers, with the turret on the corner, overlooking the square.A beautiful, inspiring building.

Jonathan W
St Barnabas Cathedral at the bottom of Derby Road. Designed by Pugin it has stood the test of time.

NG10
Everything on the Broadway in the Lace Market

Darryl Lewis
All the Watson Fothergill buildings in Nottigham andArchway House near Edwinstowe. A lovely folly.

Claire Ahern
It has to be Wollaton Hall. The 400 year old Wollaton Hall is now a natural history museum, but it has an interesting past. It is also said to have a ghost and is a house with many memories.

Richard Whiles
Wollaton Hall which is unique as an English Elizabethan Renaissance House of its scale and Southwell Minster a superb example of Norman church architecture.
