18th Century Nottingham
Part Two: Weather, Battles & Rebellions

The 18th century was a time of upheaval for Nottingham, shaped not only by national conflict but also by the forces of nature and local unrest. Periods of extreme weather brought hardship, affecting harvests, trade and everyday life, while wars and political tensions created uncertainty both at home and abroad.
This session explores how these pressures sparked protest and rebellion, revealing how ordinary people responded to rising prices, economic strain and shifting political loyalties. By examining local events alongside the wider national picture, we’ll see how climate, conflict and popular resistance combined to leave a lasting mark on Nottingham’s development.
