Hubby also took sometime to visit Coates and Tower Building where most of his classes were held when he is studying.  Coates Building Faculty of Engineering Tower Building After which we drove to the new site which houses Cornerstone Church. They have moved since we left. The church used to hold their weekly service in one of the primary school but now they have their own building at castle boulevard. We even pass by the Nottingham Castle, but didn't have time...
