List of tallest buildings and structures in Nottingham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of tallest buildings and structures in Nottingham ranks the tallest buildings as well as structures within the City of Nottingham by height. Currently the tallest structure in Nottingham is the Eastcroft Incinerator, standing at 91 m (299 ft). However, the tallest building in Nottingham is the Victoria Centre Flats A, standing at 75 m (246 ft).

St. Peter's Church in Nottingham was 1480, and was the tallest building in Nottingham for 361 years. High rise development in Nottingham was most active during the 1960s when many residential flats and tower blocks were constructed. However several towerblocks have been demolished or renovated during the 1980s and 2010s. High rise development slowed during the 1970s, and since 2000 only a few high rise buildings have been constructed.
