Amenities
Summary
Nottingham’s Victorian lace-trade district — a compressed grid of six and seven-storey Italianate Victorian warehouses above the city centre, converted to mixed use but retaining the complete original warehouse streetscape.
About this location
The Lace Market is the historic district of Nottingham where the lace-making trade was centred in the 19th century. The area consists of a tight grid of streets — Fletcher Gate, Stoney Street, High Pavement, Broadway — lined on both sides by large Victorian Italianate warehouses of six to seven storeys, built by the lace merchants to store and display their goods.
The warehouses are now converted to offices, flatss, and retail, but the exterior character is largely intact — rendered facades with ornamental cornices and pilasters, large warehouse windows, and the compressed vertical scale of the Victorian commercial district. St Mary’s Church at the top of High Pavement gives a medieval parish church at the centre of the commercial district.
For productions, the Lace Market gives a Victorian commercial district of a density and verticality uncommon in the English Midlands — the street canyons between the large warehouse blocks give a compressed urban environment that reads as either London or a major northern industrial city. Nottingham City Council handles filming permits.
