Forget the high street: Why niche perfume is having a moment

Spend an afternoon wandering round perfume counters and you'll notice something. The same handful of bottles keep turning up everywhere from the big department stores to the smaller chemists tucked along the side streets. It's not that these scents are bad, as such, but there's a decent chance that at least three other people in any given pub have dabbed on the exact same one before heading out.

A walk in the park: how the King George V Memorial Fund helped preserve our green spaces

We’re lucky to have lots of local parks in Nottingham – but they don’t just establish or maintain themselves. As the lungs, playgrounds, and life-givers of our city, they’ve seen a whole range of uses over time, from wartime food growing through to cricket grounds, football pitches, and skate parks. Celebrating the enduring legacy of King George V’s memorial fund, genealogist and local historian Russell Davies of Leaves of History digs deep into the origins of the parks it bestowed, and their shifting purposes and stewardship.
