AV - Not in Nottingham Documentary

I have been set the task to research the Industry sector within Nottingham and how its change from having a thriving lace, cigarette, coal and hoisery industry to little or no industry in those sectors left.

I began with the lace industry and went to the Museum of Nottingham Lace to find it had been closed for four years depsite still being full set up as a museum inside, this already shows a decline in the industry even when it comes to preserving the history of it.

I managed to however to secure a meeting with the curator, Jeremry Farrel from the museum on Tuesday 14th in the musuem. From the initial phone conversation it seems that he has a broad knowledge of the industry and how is has changed and affected the city since its decline.
