This photograph, from 1928, shows Nottingham's Council House still under construction, its dome covered in scaffolding.
Work on it would finish in 1929. In front of it are lines of market stalls.
Further north in Nottinghamshire, former pupils will have memories of Mansfield's former grammar school - Queen Elizabeth's, pictured here in 1950.

More than 400,000 images from 1919 to the present day have been added to the tool, covering nearly 30% (c.15,000 square miles) of England, allowing people immediate digital access to Historic England's nationally important collection of aerial photographs.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England said: "I am delighted that our new online tool will allow people to access easily our wonderful collection of aerial images and enjoy the historic photography that our team uses every day to unlock the mysteries of England's past."
Matthew Oakey, interim national aerial investigation and mapping manager, said: "Around 300,000 of the photographs were taken by Historic England's own flying programme. We have aerial archaeologists flying throughout the year, photographing landscapes both urban and rural and recording and discovering new archaeological sites.
"A large number of photographs were taken by the RAF during and after World War Two for surveying and planning purposes. We also have a number of photographs taken by a company called Aerofilms Ltd, which mostly span the period from the 1920s to the 1960s and provide a fascinating snapshot of the interwar years."
