Lace Market
Nottingham's Lace Market Centre is situated in the heart of a
protected heritage area of the city which has undergone exciting
regeneration in recent years, the old Victorian warehouses in the
area having been turned into stylish residential units and trendy
bars or restaurants. Once a thriving local industry, lace was
manufactured on a large scale in Nottingham after the invention of
a framework machine in 1589. At the Lace Market Centre visitors can
find out all about lace-making and its impact through a series of
exhibitions, demonstrations, and audio-visual presentations. There
is also a lace shop and coffee bar at the centre.
