A City Built Over Caves

More than 800 man-made caves have been recorded beneath Nottingham, cut into the soft sandstone from the medieval period onward and used as cellars, tanneries, maltings and air-raid shelters. New ones are still being found.

Nottingham lies at 1.1°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 1.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 5 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:05 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 65 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:05.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 56m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 34m. The swing between them is 9h 21m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Nottingham the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:38, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:34. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Nottingham that civil twilight runs about 34 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 51 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
