Residents open up on life in the shadow of 'beautiful' Nottingham Castle

Despite the noisy gun shows, residents say they love living in the shadow of Nottingham Castle. Although one side of the "beautiful" castle is surrounded by tourist spots, including the beloved Robin Hood statue and street of cafes leading to the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, there is a whole other side to the castle, full of homes.

Nottingham resident, Andrew Crowhurst, 56, said: "You can see it [the castle] from our house which is very good, especially when there's fire work displays and things like that." When asked if there was any problems with tourists, Andres said: "No none at all."

Retired, Maureen Moffat, 73, said: "The guns on a Saturday morning are really noisy. We don't mind the events as it's always nice to have something, but those guns do make the floor move."
