The #GreatCheeseRiot began in #Nottingham on #ThisDayInHistory in 1766. Women angry at overpriced #cheese at the annual #GooseFair stole wheels of it. When some were arrested, the building holding them was attacked. Soldiers were then used to suppress the #anticapitalist revolt.
Time for the annual cut-back of #Nottingham’s Green Heart. The meadows may look quite bare just after cutting, but this is temporary and part of their natural rhythm. Cutting helps wildflowers return stronger the following spring and ensures the meadow remains diverse and colourful year after year.
