They each have their own unique character
The Lace Market and Hockley areas of Nottingham have become a byword over the decades for boutique businesses, upmarket bars and quality restaurants. Covering what is believed to be the oldest part of the city of Nottingham, with settlements found around Belward Street dating from the fifth and sixth centuries, Visit Nottinghamshire says of these two iconic areas that "each have their own unique character".
One expert says the reason why a definitive line between these two areas is hard to draw is down to the origins of Hockley itself. Whilst the Lace Market has been a fully-fledged area of the city for centuries, having become the administrative district of Nottingham in the Middle Ages, Hockley is technically just the name of the tiny street inbetween Goose Gate and Lower Parliament Street.
Together with Goose Gate, the road actually formed the ancient Walker Gate. J. Holland Walker, in An itinerary of Nottingham, said: "In 1285 and earlier, Hockley is referred to as Walker Gate, or the residence of the cloth fullers, from the practice of 'walking', or stamping upon cloth to make it 'full' or felty after weaving.
