City of Caves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City of Caves is an award-winning [1] visitor attraction in Nottingham which is accessed from the upper mall of the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. The area which now makes up Nottingham was once known as Tiggua Cobaucc which means ‘City of Caves’ which is from which the attraction takes its name.
It consists of a network of caves, carved out of sandstone that have been variously used over the years as a tannery, public house cellars, and as air raid shelters.
The attraction was previously named the Caves of Nottingham but this name was scrapped when the Galleries of Justice took over its running and the visitor offering was overhauled in 2004.
