Travellers pitch up near Nottingham's Victoria Embankment for third time in 3 months

Another group of travellers have pitched up near the Victoria Embankment - and it's the third encampment there in the space of just three months. At least four caravans, a car and a number of people have arrived at The Meadows Recreation Ground, behind the War Memorial, at the beauty spot on the banks of the River Trent.

A photo of the latest encampment was sent to Nottinghamshire Live on Wednesday (August 10). It is thought to be the third traveller encampment on the playing fields since May.
