About The Lace Market
Historically, the Lace Market has been the centre of Nottingham's economic, residential, and recreational activity since long before the city was even founded. Its roots may be traced back to the troglodyte settlers who carved out caves in the sandstone cliff. During its Victorian heyday, Nottingham's Lace Market was home to factories that supplied the British Empire's female population with exquisitely crafted lace.
While the glory days of the lace industry are long gone, the area once home to the manufacturers is still extant in the form of the Lace Market, which can be found between High Pavement and Carlton Street to the north. The main draw of the area is its largely unspoiled Victorian aspect, as the warehouses and salerooms of the textile sector have mostly been converted to offices.
