St James's Street: Byron lived here

This slate plaque is on the front of the fine house at the top of St James's Street shown in Image . Before Nottingham became a city in 1897, the Borough fixed similar plaques to other historic buildings and sites (see the links below). The Nottingham arms (on the left of the cast frame), which the Borough applied to nearly everything it owned, consists of a ragged cross and three crowns. It was recognised by the College of Arms in 1614, but was probably in use earlier, and forms the centre of the familiar Nottingham City armorial device, between the two stags. On the right of the frame is the Nottingham seal, a castle, moon and star, in use since the 15th century, which now forms the crest of the City arms. Image Image Image
