From culinary classics, to roads and industry, medicine and media . . . see how many of these produts you know about.
5. Raleigh Chopper
Famed for its large back wheel, its unique handlebars, and its ability to inflict severe groin injury if you braked too suddenly, the Chopper was the must-have means of transportation for any 1970s child who wanted to be taken seriously 'down the rec'. Not happy with the misery they caused with the Chopper, the company went on to produce the Grifter - a BMX-style cycle with three gears and weighed about the same as a small cow. Photo: Raleigh
6. Tarmac
While many assume it was created by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam, Tarmac was actually invented by a Nottinghamshire surveyor by the name of Edgar Hooley. McAdam had invented Stone McAdam in the early 19th Century, but Hooley had the idea of adding tar to the mixture to produce less dust from passing vehicles. The world's first tarmac road was laid on the outskirts of Nottingham in 1902. Photo: Topical Press Agency
7. The Millennium Falcon
Okay, so while Han Solo's iconic spaceship wasn't actually conceived in Nottinghamshire, it's safe to say that it would never have gotten off the ground without the help of a retired Warsop helicoper pilot and hovercraft expert. Colin Coombes was brought into film scenes in the Empire Strikes Back, where Lucas Films needed a life-size model of the 'fastest hunk of junk in the universe' to physically lift off the ground. In days before CGI and Green Screen, Colin devised an intricate system of hoverpads, which were placed beneath the model to manoeuvre it off the ground. Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez
8. Traffic lights
Nottinghamshire-born John Peake Knight invented the first traffic light in 1866 - 20 year's before Carl Benz patented the design for the first car. Knight's design had a revolving gas-powered lantern with a red and green light (the amber light came later) - the very first one was placed near the House of Commons in London.
