Meeting Mr Nottingham - an interview with Lace Market and Creative Quarter visionary Mich Stevenson
Nowadays, the eastside of Nottingham city centre is thriving, bursting with beautiful architecture, plenty of interesting and independent retail and hospitality options, and a hive for creativity. But before Mich Stevenson came along, that wasn't the case. We caught up with him to find out more about how his influence impacted The Creative Quarter for the better.

“I was determined. Since I started it, it's been a labour of love all the way through. I just love the buildings. What a tragedy if they'd have pulled them down. They were proposing to put part of the inner-city ring road through here.”

To encourage locals and visitors alike to explore all of Nottingham, from the Castle in the west to the Creative Quarter in the east, we've put together a number of suggested walks on Google Maps, pinpointing some of our favourite sights, our greatest independent shops, and the best places to eat and drink.
