Up until the early 1970's, Sneinton Market was the place to go for absolutely everything. It more or less died when the Victoria Centre was built and the market moved inside. A small open air market appears once a week and a few of the shops are still being used. But on the whole it is a bit of a run down area & plans are afoot to develop it. In the meantime, clues still remain as to the various businesses that operated from the area, as today's photo shows; the fruit merchant company of J Pearson.
Nottingham is one of the places I have yet to visit back in England but its on my list. Loved the Messing about on the River photo, this is something I would love to do.
