Caves of Nottingham

Tourist attraction in Nottinghamshire

Caves of Nottingham

Tel: 44 0115 9241424, Fax: ,
Nottinghamshire, NG1 7LS

Beneath the city centre of Nottingham, the soft Sherwood Sandstone allowed the digging of cellars, even with medieval technology. So in the last 750 years more than 400 caves where cut out. They were used as storerooms, factories, pub cellars (Ye olde Trip to Jerusalem), dwelling houses or air raid shelter. The city of Nottingham has recently been renamed City of Caves. Most of the caves are personal property. Some of them were destroyed during several centuries of city development. But some caves are protected and can be visited as a tourist attraction. Still, the so called Caves of Nottingham are not the only possibility to see the caves. This set of man-made caves was almost lost forever when the modern shopping centre was built. Thanks to local voluntary groups, the caves were saved and are now open to visitors. Despite the caves, several sights were made up, which makes this place a typical british attraction. Attractions included: In Pillar Cave and Tannery the visitor sees Britain's only underground tannery. The room is called pillar cave, because of a characteristic central pillar. It is maybe the oldest cave dating back to 1250. A tannery operated here from AD 1500 to 1640. Drury Hill was a narrow and winding cobbled street, which was demolished in 1968. This area of the cave shows how it looked like. The Victorian Slum has a connection to the caves, as many of the caves were used as slum dwellings. The Air Raid Shelter shows the youngest history of the caves, as they were used as shelters in World War II. Sam Hancock's Caves show how this caves were used as beer cellars for pubs.
