    Qype User (welove…)

    I'm a big fan of Nottingham Library, mainly because you can't beat what they offer- access to a wealth of information on almost any subject you can imagine... for free! Whilst studying for my A levels, I was advised to go and look at their video collection for some cultural films- they were brilliant! It's easy to become a little engrossed by it all, and also to develop an uncanny blindness towards the book you want (even if it is staring you right in the face). The staff are friendly and patient (I couldn't do their job with some of the bizarre requests I heard whilst in there). Clearer signage and a better interior would do wonders for its image, but then again, it's done very well, being run on public funds... Funds that had been directed towards a rather unsightly concrete paving 'redevelopment' just across the road.

    The Square has just been redeveloped and very beautiful. Its where everyone seams to meet. In the…read moresummer time the beautiful people hang around there sunning themselves or paddleing in the water. In the winter the ice rink arrives, this is a must on a cold winters evening - open air skating - fantastic. The front of the Square faces on to the Council House building where the Little John bell is housed. The Old Market Square is supposedly where Robin Hood won the Silver Arrow in an archery compitition thrown by the Sheriff of Nottingham. At christmas time the Square plays host to the German Market where German vendors come to sell their goods. I recommend the German sausages with mustard. they are tasty.

    So, they've just spent a lot of our money on it. They seem to have made it very skateboard…read morefriendly, - good for skateboarders, not so good for everyone else. The fountains and lights are pretty fancy. The place doesn't offend me - was it worth the twelve months of agro and the money. Well, probably, actually. The tram track development was central to the redevelopment of the market square. The trams are great - Nottingham has character again - and it's not related to gun crime! The selection of shops on the square is pretty good and varied - from Debenhams to Burtons, the obligatory Starbucks and Wetherspoons, but also all the main banks, Littlewoods, pound shops, Nottm tourist office, and of course the council house itself - The iconic lions still prowl and look on Nottingham!
