Almost recreating this 'First' for the square https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/17658 . The position of the notice board relative to the rock shows that this is not taken from exactly the same position. This view http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6928773 shows the result of doing so. This outcrop is what is known as an inselberg, the result of differential erosion. The waisted form is the result of the upper layers being a slightly harder material which has weathered less. Both layers form part of the Nottingham Castle Sandstone group, but are of slightly different ages.
