Nottingham Guild Hall, Medieval town hall at Weekday Cross, England
Description
Nottingham Guild Hall was a brick-built structure with multiple floors and a prominent clock crafted by local artisan John Wyld, positioned at Weekday Cross. The building provided space for civic administration and community gatherings at this key intersection in the city center.
History
The hall originated in medieval times and served for centuries as the town hall and courthouse for Nottingham Corporation. It was demolished in 1895 to make way for railway expansion through the city.
Culture
The hall served as a meeting place for merchant guilds who gathered to regulate commerce and conduct their affairs. This central location reflected the economic power of traders in shaping the city's development.
Practical
The hall was located at Weekday Cross, a central intersection easy to find and navigate within the city. Visitors interested in the site today can still see the street layout and surrounding buildings that mark where it once stood.
Did you know?
The clock from the building was purchased by Alderman Perry after demolition and relocated to his Boulevard Works on Radford Boulevard. This timepiece survived the structure itself and remains a tangible link to the hall's past.
