THE NOT ENTIRELY OBVIOUS NOTTINGHAM ESSAY: PART 1: TWO PLAQUES.

Here& #39;s a story about two plaques in Nottm city centre, and why they might have a strange link that spans a century and created one of the most recognisable characters of all time.

So, let& #39;s see the plaques.

We& #39;ll begin with the 1st. It& #39;s in Exchange Arcade (under the Council House Dome where all the posh shops are), marking onthe former home of Henry Kirke White, a poet who took the whole Romantic Poet idea of dying young to the extreme. Henry who? We& #39;ll call him HKW from here on..

The rest of this thread disappeared into the ether when I posted it. Ta, Twitter.

I& #39;ll write it again at some point and save the text this time

I swear this isn& #39;t some sort of teaser campaign.

It& #39;ll be worth the wait, I promise. There were literally minutes of painstaking, deep-dive research put into putting together a further strand of my theory that Nottingham is the centre of the cultural universe.
