Market Place, Nottingham, Nottingham
A general view of the Market Place showing the stalls, shops, electric trams and cars. The first electric tram ran in Nottingham in 1901 and the last in 1936. In the days before the City of Nottingham was formed, the area was the centre-point between the old Norman town of Snottingham (situated around the Castle Rock) and the old Saxon town which was based around the current Lace Market at St. Mary's Church. The two towns were divided by a wall to separate the two communities on market day. It was demolished in 1713. The Exchange building was demolished in 1927 and a new Council House was built on the site. The Nottingham Goose Fair was held in the square until it was redesigned in 1928.
