Our exhibition

We celebrated 50 years of NCHA with an exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary. Colleagues, customers and our partners came together to relive our journey.

We shared a film and a book (PDF) with memories and experiences from people across the East Midlands. The pages below detail the highlights of our history, all the way back to our humble beginnings in 1973.
