Victoria Centre Indoor Market

This is the Victoria Centre indoor market, Nottingham

The market is inside the Victoria Centre Shopping Mall. The mall is home to all the high street brands.

The indoor market was once a bustling market, where you could buy just about anything. Some units are still occupied, but as you can see many are empty. It's probably a combination of the years of recession, internet shopping and covid !

I don't need to say much more about the photo, it speaks for itself.

FYI : My next stranger is a stall holder from the market, I think you will like the photo and story !

That is such a poignant sight 💔 Almost like that lady is the last to leave before it becomes a ghost town….

Haven’t been there for years! I used to like the water clock in the Victoria Centre.

I love this capture! It reminds me the same state of affair in some French indoor markets. They were so much fun and you could find fine products!
It would be a great pic for a book on your town Phil.

How sad to see it so empty and deserted! But such is life, one starts a new business and hits hard on another who has been there for ages.

Wow Phil thats a very sad sight! We had an indoor market in Preston years ago which was bustling at all times. I never go into Preston these days but they built a new one which is cold & draughty I believe. The old one across the road is a cinema.

Oh that's such a shame. We saw a market hall like this in Stockholm. It was lively and buzzing. Where have we gone wrong?

Another fantastic shot.
