Head In The Clouds - Looking South East


This view takes in the Hockley and Lace Market areas. The two spires you can see are St Mary's Church (left) and what is now the Pitcher & Piano winebar, but was originally the High Pavement Chapel (right). As I've mentioned before, the actual business of lace production has all but disappeared from the area now. The former warehouses and factories of the once busy area have all been turned into either luxury apartments or offices.

  1. how amazing that lace was such a commodity back then? I guess it was a sign of wealth?

    I like how you have your archives listed by month. I've been trying to figure out how to do the same with little luck!
