Nottingham Industrial Museum and Wollaton Hall.....

Nottingham's Wollaton Hall is a spectacular Elizabethan mansion, which starred as 'Wayne Manor' in the Dark Knight Rises Batman film released in July 2012. Set within a 500-acre deer park, Wollaton Hall offers free coach parking and is ideally located for coach tours coming to Nottingham.

While here, be sure to visit the Nottingham Industrial Museum.Located in the 17th century stable block of Wollaton hall, Nottingham Industrial Museum celebrates the rich industrial heritage of Nottingham and the surrounding areas. The museum is volunteer run and is open every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday. It can be opened for group tours on other days if pre-arranged.Take a walk around the galleries and discover the people, companies and industries that made Nottingham famous around the world. The museum has displays relating to five areas of Nottingham industry, Textiles, Transport, Communication, Mining and Steam, each investigating Nottingham's rich industrial heritage. The museum also houses a working Basford Beam engine and an original Thomas Humber's Bicycle! http://www.nottinghamindustrialmuseum.co.uk/
