So first off loyal fans I've started with the oldest part of Nottingham, the Anglo Saxon burgh. It shall not include its walls due to the fact that I'm building this table for mostly 12th to 15th century games.

However do not despair noble followers for as the table will be modular if I ever have need of the burgh purely by its self for game set during the 6th to 11th century I will have some palisades made up to encircle it.
Now the burgh and the later expanded settlement is based with one side edging a cliff of sand stone that over looks the Trent valley with the river lean below it (the modern lean is now a canal that feeds in to the Trent but originally it was a large tributary of the Trent) and the other end spreading away towards the north into futile pastures and farm land.
This original town when over laid on the modern city is a truly tiny area that can be crossed in about a 10 to 15 minutes walk, in fact you could likely walk the circumference of the original burh in about 30 minutes with out much
trouble.

| This rough plan is the basic out line of streets and areas where eventually i will have build up into a small urban settlement. |
