In common with the UK textile industry as a whole, Nottingham's textile sector fell into headlong decline in the decades following the World War II, as British manufacturers proved unable to compete on price or volume with output of factories in the Far East and South Asia. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The Far East is a term often used by people in the Western world to refer to the countries of East Asia. Very little textile manufacture now takes place in Nottingham, but the City's heyday in this sector endowed it with some fine industrial buildings in the Lace Market district. The Lace Market is an historic quarter-mile square area of Nottingham, UK. Many of these have been restored and put to new uses.

Architecture

Nottingham has some truly magnificent architecture, buildings from a vast swathe of history stretching right back to the 1100s have been built in the City. Victorian Nottingham saw a building boom with many grand buildings being built owing to the City's 19th century importance. Architects such as Alfred Waterhouse, Thomas Chambers Hine and Watson Fothergill have all built spectacular buildings in Nottingham. Alfred Waterhouse (19 July 1830 – 22 August 1905 was an English Architect, particularly associated with the Victorian Gothic revival. Thomas Chambers Hine 1814 - 1899 was an architect based in Nottingham. Watson Fothergill was an Architect who designed over 100 unique buildings in Nottingham in the East Midlands of England, his influences were

The western third of the city is home to most of the modern offices and businesses of the city, several tall office buildings line Maid Marian Way whilst there are some handsome buildings around Oxford and Regent Streets mainly occupied by professional firms. The Albert Hall was rebuilt in 1909 after the original Watson Fothergill masterpiece burnt down, sits next to the comparatively unimpressive Nottingham Cathedral by Pugin. The Albert Hall in Nottingham is a former Methodist Mission now used as a conference centre and concert hall The Cathedral Church of St Barnabas in the City of Nottingham, England, is a Cathedral of the Roman Catholic church Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin ( 1 March 1812 – 14 September 1852) was an English Architect, designer and theorist of design now Nottingham Castle and its grounds are located further south in the western third of the city. Nottingham Castle is a Castle in Nottingham, England. It is located in a commanding position with 130 foot cliffs to the south and west The central third descends from the University district in the north, past the Arkwright Building which is a beautiful example of gothic revival architecture and was previously Nottingham's public library - Nottingham Trent University now owns this building as well as many in the area.

The central focal point of the City is Old Market Square which is the largest in the UK and is home to many beautiful buildings, most notably Nottingham Council House. Old Market Square is an open Town square in Nottingham, England, the largest such surviving in England and forms the heart of the City Nottingham Council House is the City hall of Nottingham, England. This was built in the 1920s to display civic pride, ostentatiously using baroque columns and placing stone statues of two lions at the front to stand watch over the square; the Exchange Arcade inside the building contains an upmarket shopping centre with boutique shops, it is a small but beautiful covered area. Baroque art redirects here Please disambiguate such links to Baroque painting, Baroque sculpture, etc Portland Stone, the same as used for St Paul's Cathedral, was used to construct the Council House and Exchange Arcade. Portland stone is a Limestone from the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. St Paul's Cathedral, is the Anglican Cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. Streets lead from all directions off the square but to the south, shopping streets lead their way in to the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre which is soon to be completely rebuilt. Plans include a massive three floor centre with glass covered 'streets' (similar to the Birmingham Bullring) a landmark new building on the southwest corner of the site and a new transport terminus for the tram lines and buses. The Bull Ring is a commercial area of Birmingham, England. It has been an important feature of Birmingham since the Middle Ages, when its market was first

The Canalside, further south of this is adjacent to the railway station and several new but sympathetically designed modern offices and is an inviting redevelopment of 19th century industrial buildings into a cluster of bars and restaurants. The eastern third of the city contains the Victoria Shopping Centre which was built in the 1970s on the site of the demolished Victoria Railway Station. All that remains of the beautiful old station building is the clocktower and the station hotel which is now the Hilton Hotel, Nottingham. The Victoria Centre flats stand above the shopping centre and run the whole length of it. At 250 fet high they are the tallest buildings in the city. The eastern third also contains perhaps the most interesting areas of the city, such as Hockley Village. For the hamlet in Ontario Canada see Hockley Village Ontario Hockley Village is the marketing name for (Photos) Hockley is where the vast majority of the individual shops are to be found. Hockley is also home to two cinemas which show alternative cinema. They are the Broadway cinema and The Screen Room cinema. The Screen Room is the smallest in the world with only 21 seats and was the cinema of choice for Quentin Tarantino's UK premier of Reservoir Dogs. Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an Academy Award - BAFTA Award - and Palme d'Or -winning Emmy - and Reservoir Dogs is the 1992 debut Film of director and writer Quentin Tarantino. The Lace Market area is another interesting area just south of Hockley. The Lace Market was once the heart of Britain's Lace industry during the 19th century British Empire and the area provides a snapshot of typical Victorian Britain, with its densely packed streets full of 4-7 story red brick warehouses, ornate iron railings and red phone boxes. The British Empire was the largest empire in history and for over a century was the foremost global power.

These have all been restored and cleaned and the buildings are now used for different purposes, New College Nottingham now has many sites in the Lace Market including the impressive Adams Building built by Thomas Chambers Hine for Thomas Adams. The Adams Building 1855 - 21st Century The Adams Building on Stoney Street is by far the largest building in Nottingham 's world-renowned Lace Market district Thomas Adams may refer to Thomas Adams (playwright (1580&ndash1653 English playwright Sir Thomas Adams 1st Baronet (1586&ndash1668 Many of the buildings are also now used for upmarket city centre apartments. Several bars and restaurants also have premises in the Lace Market. The area was once a run down one with the warehouses abandoned but since cleaning and gentrification is now an attractive aspect to this part of the city. The church of St Mary the Virgin is also in this area and is widely considered to be the best example of an English cross-shaped church. On this medieval site was supposedly where Robin Hood was arrested after being betrayed by a monk and subsequently imprisoned by the Sherrif of Nottingham, before being rescued by Little John. Robin Hood is an archetypal figure in English folklore, whose story originates from medieval times but who remains significant in popular culture where Little John was a fellow outlaw of Robin Hood, and was said to be Robin's chief lieutenant and second-in-command of the Merry Men. It and the adjacent Shire Hall are two interesting buildings from the city's medieval past. The Georgian built Galleries of Justice are also in the Lace Market, they were used as courts and prisons from 1780 for 200 years although the aite has been home to a court since 1375.

Wollaton Hall lies about 2. 5 miles (4. 0 km) to the west of the city centre.

Three pubs in Nottingham claim the title of "England's Oldest Pub". The contenders for the title are Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem near the castle which is partly built into the cave system, The Bell on the Old Market Square, and The Old Salutation on Maid Marian Way. Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem is one of the 20 Public houses (including three in Nottingham) which claim to be the oldest drinking establishment in England. Old Market Square is an open Town square in Nottingham, England, the largest such surviving in England and forms the heart of the City All of which are some of the cities oldest buildings and make for fascinating viewing. Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem is supposedly named for its role as a meeting point for those going on the Crusades in the Middle Ages. The Crusades were a series of military campaigns of a religious character waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal opponents Its claim of the being the oldest is due partly to the questionable date of 1189 painted on the side of the inn. A recent television documentary tested the three claimants and found that, while each has its own evidence, none can claim exclusivity. The Trip, while the oldest building and oldest location, was for most of its early life a brewery and not a public house. The Salutation sits on the oldest recognised public house site, but the current building is comparatively recent. The Bell, although not in such an antiquated location, does boast the oldest public house building. There is also conflicting information available: dendrochronology from roof timbers in the Salutation give a date for the building of c. Dendrochronology (from Greek grc δένδρον dendron, "tree" grc χρόνος khronos, "time" and grc -λογία 1420 with similar dates for the Bell. Ultimately, the roots of the multiple claims can be traced to various subtleties of definition in terms such as public house and inn. Inns are establishments where travellers can procure Food, Drink, and Lodging.

In 2000 - 2003 the press and other media claimed Nottingham was the 'gun-crime capital of the UK', although by 2007 the BBC reported that the number of shootings in the City had fallen from 51 (in 2003) to 13 (in 2006). ^[14] In January 2008, however, it was reported that gun crime in the city had risen for a second consecutive year with a 50% increase in gun crime during 2007. ^[15] The incidence of many crimes in Nottingham is several times higher than the English average. ^[16] A 2006 crime survey stated that Nottingham topped the crime rankings for police statistics on murders, burglaries, and vehicle crime, and "had almost five times the level of crime as the safest town in the rankings". The survey was condemned as inaccurate by Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire Police^[17] due largely to the use of out of date (2001) population figures, and The University of Nottingham argued that the way in which statistics such as these are calculated is severely flawed, and if the population of the entire conurbation were taken into account instead of just the centre of the city then a more accurate picture would be revealed. Nottingham City Council is the City council for the Unitary authority of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire Police is the Home Office police force responsible for policing the Shire county of Nottinghamshire and the Unitary authority ^[18] A revised survey based on 2004 population estimates, however, appears to back up the original rankings. ^[19] In 2007 a property focused TV programme named Nottingham as the 4th worst city to live in, stating the city has "loads of good aspects but crime lets it down". ^[20] Interestingly the same programme also ranked the neighbouring Nottinghamshire borough of Rushcliffe, which contains suburbs of Greater Nottingham, among the best 20 places to live in the UK. Rushcliffe is a local government district with Borough status in Nottinghamshire, England. Greater Nottingham is a Conurbation based around the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. ^[21]

While the crime figures in the city are high, initiatives introduced to tackle the levels of crime appear to be having an effect, with a 2006 Home Office survey showing that the overall level of crime in the city is down by 12% since 2003. ^[22] Initiatives include the Community and Neighbourhood Protection Service developed by Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham City Homes to take an uncompromising stance to anti-social behaviour. Nottingham City Council is the City council for the Unitary authority of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire Police is the Home Office police force responsible for policing the Shire county of Nottinghamshire and the Unitary authority ^[23] It comprises Community Protection Officers (CPOs), Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and Anti-Social Behaviour Officers who work with internal and external agencies to reduce anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime.
