Yes it is THE Nottingham, there is only one Nottingham.
My father opened a Greek Taverna in Lincoln (about an hour away) when I was 8. Then when I fell in love with Andy, the relatives did not approve so we decided to move far enough away that we could still keep in touch but not so close that they would be on the doorstep all the time.
So we chose Nottingham to live in as it was 50 miles away from the parents!
Incidently, I visited Sherwood Forest many times as a child and I now take DD4 there every year. I've seen the Major Oak which is still there, but with fencing round it now, as the tree is like 900 years old. It still had green leaves on it last time I checked!
And me and Andy actually got married at Nottingham Castle, which is where the Sheriff of Nottingham was supposed to live.
We had our wedding buffet in the castle's restaurant!
