The Arkwright building is a stunning building in a central location, but still seems rather tucked away. The NTU refurb and link up to the Newton building is also a modern triumph inside and out, it really is fantastic!

NTU has an attractive city campus. I'd like to see them do something with the Chaucer building though

Chaucer is a minger. I could rant but its the wrong thread for that.

Yes its near the bottom of hockley. All buffet restaurants are awful but they appeal to the masses.

The new Cornerhouse one (ex works) is 4 times bigger than the current Hockley one so obviously very popular with the masses

Yipee, just what the world needs - another Starbucks. Wonder if this branch will turn a profit or not.

Are Greggs cornering the fast food market in Nottingham? Noticed today that they are now open on Ladybay retail park and are about to open on the Victoria retail park and on Nuthall road (in the old Sheriff plant hire) ... Last one is a bit strange???
