Maiden Lane off Baker Gate inn the Lace Market a historic quarter-mile square area in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.

 

Once the heart of the world's lace industry during the days of the British Empire, the Lace Market is full of impressive examples of 19th century industrial architecture and thus is a protected heritage area. It was never a market in the sense of having stalls, but there were salesrooms and warehouses for storing, displaying and selling the lace.

 

The Lace Market has undergone a renaissance in recent years. Nearly all of the old warehouses that were once run down during the recession years have been cleaned and renovated and have found new uses such as luxury apartments, high-spec offices and academic buildings.
