Zig Zag considers Long Eaton among the most underrated places in the UK for historic buildings; a big claim, but where else can you find Viennese secessionism, art-nouveau shopfronts, giant Edwardian mansions and some of the largest tenement Victorian factory buildings anywhere to be found, all in one small provincial town? Long Eaton will surprise you. The story takes in the frenzied C19 lace boom, speculative developers and prodigious young Scottish architects inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Start the tour from Nottingham Train Station for a leisurely ride on a traffic-free route along the river or meet us directly at Long Eaton Train Station for the urban exploration. Refreshments and lunch will be available from a great café next to the station.
