Nottingham Lace

The workmen are busy building a new modern art gallery in Nottingham, due to open in 2009. The concrete panels are embossed with a Nottingham lace design found in a Victorian time capsule buried in 1847 and further details can be found here.
Whilst the building is causing controversy mainly due to design and construction from concrete, personally I am looking forward to visiting on a regular basis.

    So am I Sue, I love the Lace Market used to work on Fletcher Gate years ago. The multi-storey car park is there now!

    I think it will be great having somewhere else to visit other than the castle, which is great, but can be quite limited.

    I'm excited about this too sue. I love the idea of the lace pattern on the outside of the building. We will be over there with our cameras! Thank you for the link.

    Very special - and an interesting article. If I ever come to Nottingham, maybe I could try using part of a panel as a rubbing plate?????
