Nottingham shopping centre evacuated over gas leak – Nottinghamshire Fire, Rescue on scene | UK | News
People in Nottingham were told to stay away from Victoria Centre after it had to be evacuated following a suspected “gas leak”.
Nottingham Fire and Rescue Service asked members of the public to “avoid the area”. Four engines cleared the shopping centre this morning. Traffic conditions in surrounding areas were affected by the leak.
Videos at the scene show people being made to leave the shopping centre with firefighters stationed outside.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We have four appliances in attendance at Victoria Centre in Nottingham because of a suspected gas leak.
“People are being evacuated from the building and we ask people to avoid the area.”
One shopper wrote on Twitter: “I was walking around Victoria Centre killing time [until] my sister arrives but then the alarms went off and we got told to evacuate, now there’s fire engines here.
“I just wanted a nice chill day, why is it chaos?”
User @emma1883 said: “Not sure why but fire crews are on scene and we have been moved away from the glass frontage.”

Simon Dermody claimed: “Gas could be smelt at the north car park entrance.
“
On nearby Convent Street, Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies, which is celebrating an open day, said: “If you’re coming to our college-level open day please make sure you leave enough time for travel.
“Roads around Confetti are currently seeing high volumes of traffic due to the ongoing incident on Upper Parliament Street.”
Meanwhile, Nottingham Playhouse said: “If you’re heading into the city centre today for our performances today, please allow extra time for your journey.”
A Victoria Centre spokesperson said: “We can confirm that there has been an incident in the area and on the advice of the fire service we have had to evacuate the centre and await further instruction.
“We’re unable to share any further information at this stage but we will issue an update as soon as we can.”
Kieron Carlisle, a resident who lives in the flats above the Victoria Centre, said they were told to stay at home: “On the intercom it says there is no need to evacuate and we are advised to stay where we are.
“I can see they have got gas companies going around with monitors.”
The Incident Commander of the Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service requested residents “remain in their flats until instructed otherwise”.
Area Manager Mick Sharman said: “We are likely to be on scene for a number of hours as we work to identify the leak and make the area safe.
“We are aware that people in the vicinity are asking why they cannot leave their flats.
“We understand the frustration but it is for your safety and to allow our crews to bring this incident to a close as swiftly as we can.”
English city of Nottingham | World Tourism
The Saxon city of Nottingham was founded on the hills, from where it was convenient to control the strategically important crossing of the Trent River. In 1068, William the Conqueror built a castle on another hill, and the Saxons and the Normans began to trade among themselves at the foot of the hills, in “neutral territory.” Subsequently, the place of their trade turned into the Market Square – Market Square (Market Square).
The castle was a military fortification and royal palace, equal to the great palaces of Windsor and Dover, and all English kings in the Middle Ages considered it their duty to pay a visit here.
Contents of article
In August 1642 Charles I stopped here to gather volunteers under his banner and start a civil war. The locals greeted the arrival of the king without much enthusiasm – his army was practically not replenished. After the civil war, members of parliament showed open disrespect for this once so significant structure. In 1670, the Duke of Newcastle cleared the ruins of an old castle in order to build a palace in their place in the continental, or, as they said in England at the time, non-standard style.
In a special book, the Duke selected a model for his palace. The windows of the new ducal residence overlooked a beautiful commercial town, which, according to the descriptions of Daniel Defoe, was one of the most beautiful in England. However, in the second half of the 18th century, the city underwent significant changes due to the developing lace and knitwear industry.
Over the course of fifty years, the population of Nottingham has grown from ten thousand to fifty, which could not but create an acute housing problem.The Nottingham slums have become a hotbed of radicalism.
In the 1810s, the recession provoked workers in dire straits to take action. They fought against the use of machines during the Industrial Revolution and called themselves Luddites, after the legendary protester apprentice Ned Ludd, who allegedly destroyed the loom first. As a result, Luddism was suppressed, but this was not the last outbreak of unrest. The most dramatic events unfolded in 1831, when the House of Commons passed the Reform Bill, but the House of Lords rejected it.As a result, the workers set fire to the duke’s palace.
Many of Nottingham’s slums were demolished in the early 20th century as the city center took on its present-day appearance, with a main shopping plaza ringed with industrial and residential neighborhoods. Post-war development added blocky high-rises, shopping malls and a ring road, resulting in urban planning similar to other shopping centers in England.
The ambiance of this post-war industrial city is best described by Nottingham’s own chronicler, Alan Sillitoe, in his visionary and powerful novel Saturday Night Sunday Morning.
Nottingham Arrivals and Accommodation
Nottingham Train Station is located south of the city center, a five to ten minute walk from Market Square – just follow the signs. Most long-distance buses arrive at Broad Marsh, down the street from the station, en route to downtown, but some – including routes to Nottinghamshire North – stop at Victoria Bus Station, a five-minute walk north of Market Square.East Midlands Airport is located 18 miles southwest of the city.
Skylink buses in the city stop across the street from the station. Nottingham trams connect the station with Market Square and also run around the city. The city’s travel agency is located in Market Square, on the ground floor of the City Hall, at 1 Smithy Row. Nottingham has a myriad of accommodations, with the most expensive hotels concentrated in the city center, while cheaper accommodations and B & Bs are most often located on the outskirts and near major access roads.
Finding a room is usually not difficult, but a travel agency can always help you.

Market Square and Nottingham Castle
Market Square is of course still the heart of the city. It is an airy, open plaza, dominated by the imposing neo-baroque Council House, completed as part of the city plan in 1928, over its shops, offices and a fountain. From here, a five-minute walk west along Friar Lane to Nottingham Castle, whose restored medieval gate overlooks a bronze Robin Hood, with slabs depicting legendary scenes from his life on the wall behind him.
At a distance from the gate, the gardens rise up the slope to a squat 17th-century ducal palace, which, after burning and remaining untouched for the next forty years, opened as the first provincial museum in the area in 1878.
The estate takes the place of the medieval upper courtyard of the castle, and behind, just behind the main entrance, two flights of stairs lead down into the labyrinth of ancient cellars, which riddled both the honeycomb and the cliff below.One area is now open for guided tours.
It leads to the Mortimer’s Hole, a 91-meter-long mine that supporters of the young King Edward III secretly infiltrated in October 1330 to capture Queen Mother Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, who was hatching plans to inherit the British throne and has already killed the father of Edward III, the unfortunate Edward II. Bursting into the royal apartments, supporters of Edward III arrested Isabella and Mortimer, who was soon accused of conspiracy and hanged.
At the bottom of the ducal mansion are the Castle Museum and the Art Gallery, where England’s main attraction is The History of Nottingham, a well-presented and entertaining story about the city’s development. Also, see the museum for a small but exceptional collection of late medieval alabaster carvings, an art form for which Nottingham used to have an undeniable reputation.
It makes sense to go up to the top floor to bypass the main art gallery, a beautiful and spacious room that displays a curious assortment of mostly 19th century English romantic canvases.
They are annotated regularly, but check out the evocative canvases of Nottingham artist Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828), Leslette John Pot’s melodramatic Queen Mary of Scots, and Arthur Spooner’s hilarious folk scene in Nottingham cityscapes (1873- 1962). The surprise will be Lowry’s typical industrial scene called Industrial Panorama.

Nottingham Lace Market
A short walk, at the east end of Market Square, along Victoria Street, is the Lace Market, whose narrow alleys and alleys are lined with attractive and attractive a variety of Victorian factories and warehouses – especially distressing that the spaceship-like National Ice Center disrupts the architectural unity of the area.Stoney Street is the most attractive street on Lace Market, stretching all the way to the imposing Adams Building.
Its beautiful brick and stone façade combines Neo-Georgian and Neo-Renaissance features.
The adjacent street is Broadway with its line of homogeneous red brick and sandstone buildings. A common feature of many buildings is the long attic windows, which were supposed to illuminate the premises for renovation and inspection. In the heart of the Lace Market is St. Mary’s Church, a beautiful 19th century Gothic building built on top of the hill where the Saxon city used to be.
The church adjoins High Pavement, the capital of Nottingham during the time of George, and here you will find Shire Hall, whose neoclassical columns, pilasters and dome date back to 1770. The façade also bears the traces of chaos from the time of George: to the left of the entrance, at street level, the mason carved the word “Goal” on the arch, and then he had to make a second attempt, remaking it into “Gaol”, both versions can be clearly seen even now. The room now houses the Galleries of Justice, where the child-centered Crime and Punishment tour is very RPG-like.
Alternatively, you can wander around the building on your own to see two marvelously presented Victorian courtrooms, an Edwardian police station, several inmate cells, a women’s prison with a bathhouse, and a courtyard for walking inmates. Nearby, on Bayard Lane, is the first shop of local boyfriend Paul Smith, the most successful history of modern English fashion.
Food & Beverage in Nottingham
Nottingham has at least half a dozen high-end restaurants, whose exquisite menu balances unusual ingredients in a unique blend.There are also many simpler places – primarily Italian and Asian, plus a lot of cafes and café bars. The latter, almost without exception, have adopted the same formula – angular and ultra-modern decoration and in most cases they serve coffee and snacks, without more substantial dishes.
1). French Living Restaurant – Authentic French cuisine set in an intimate candlelit interior on the lower floor. Daytime snacks and baguettes at the cafe on the ground floor.
Evening hot meals from £ 10.Closed Sundays and Mondays. It is necessary to book a table in advance. Dishes average £ 15. Location: 27 King Street;
2). Harts Restaurant – One of the city’s most sought-after restaurants, it is part of the old city hospital and serves an international menu of carefully decorated dishes. Attractive pastel contemporary decor and helpful staff. Location: Standard Court, Park Row;
3). Memsaab Restaurant – One of the Indian restaurants – no dark red paper wallpaper, but restrained modern decor and plenty of free space.The food – a thoughtful blend of different Indian styles of cuisine from different regions – is amazing. An extensive hot menu starting at just £ 10. Location: 12 Maid Marian Way
4). World Service Restaurant – A chic restaurant with a varied menu (largely Asian) in charming surroundings near the castle. A contemporary British menu, with delicacies such as pork chops with onion marmalade and lamb chops, spread with hazelnut butter, prepared with meticulous attention to detail.
In the evening, hot meal prices start at around £ 16. But at lunchtime there is a limited menu with two courses for £ 12 or three for £ 16. Location: Newdigate House, Castle-Gate.
Nightlife in Nottingham
The list of nightlife in Nottingham is constantly changing depending on the fashion trends. The two most fashionable places now are Stealth, which is downtown on Goldsmith Street, and Blueprint, at 76 Vail Road in Colwick. The pubs around Market Square are hard to reach, especially on weekends, but there are a couple of lively and nicer drinking spots within walking distance with a more relaxed vibe.
Live music, popular and classical, mainly performed by the most famous artists, is played at the Royal Concert Hall on South Sherwood Street. Broadway on Lace Market, 14 Broad Street, is the city’s finest movie theater with the most popular mainstream and avant-garde films, and the Nottingham Playhouse in Wellington Square.

Pubs and Bars of Nottingham
1).
Broadway Cinema Bar – An informal, trendy (artistic) bar serving a wide range of bottled beers to moviegoers.Location: Broadway Cinema, 14 Broad Street;
2). Cast Bar – This is a fairly popular and affordable place; on summer evenings, tables are set in the courtyard. Visitors come here to view a piece of contemporary art at the same time – Anish Kapoor’s huge, thought-provoking “Mirror of Heaven.” There is also an adjoining restaurant. Location: Wellington Circus;
3). Cock and Hoop Pub – One of the few pubs in the center that has avoided being converted to a younger clientele.It is a small bar with thick carpets and comfortable seating, located on different levels, in a beautiful setting. Real ales are served here. Location: 25 High Pavement, Lace Market
4). Lincoinshire Poacher Pub – Popular pub serving a wide range of real ales on the tap and in bottles. Location: 161 Mansfield Road;
5).
Sir John Borlase Warren Bar – A popular bar located half a mile up the hill from the city center along Derby Road.This haphazardly old bar has its own character and friendly atmosphere. Location: 1 llkeston Road, Canning Circus;
6). Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Inn – Carved into the rock of the castle, this ancient inn could well have been a meeting place for soldiers returning from the Third Crusade. Its cavernous bars with rough, sandstone stone ceilings provide a decent hiding place. Location: Below the castle, in the Brewhouse Yard.
Outskirts of Nottingham (Eastwood Village)
David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was born in the mining village of Eastwood, about 8 miles west of Nottingham. The mine closed many years ago, and Eastwood is a bit of a post-industrial eyesore, but the house where Lawrence was born and spent his childhood has survived. This tiny red-brick terraced house, now converted into the Lawrence Birthplace Museum, is located at 8 Victoria Street, off Nottingham Road.
None of the pieces of furniture and equipment are original, which is not too surprising given that Lawrence’s family left when he was two, but this museum is an engaging reproduction of the time, interspersed with biographical excursions into the early life of the author …
Enthusiasts can then take the 3-mile Blue Line Walk around the Eastwood sites associated with Lawrence – the family moved several times for various reasons, and Lawrence did not leave Eastwood until 1908.The walk takes about an hour, a brochure can be obtained from the museum. Buses leave from Nottingham Victoria Bus Station every twenty minutes and arrive in Eastwood thirty minutes later.
