Hockley, Nottingham

Hockley is an area near the centre of Nottingham, England. Hockley lies adjacent to the Lace Market, many well-preserved Victorian buildings. There has been a mercantile presence on the land since at least the 13th century. With many bars, restaurants and trendy clothes shops, it is a vibrant, modern section of the city, and has been described as "the Soho of Nottingham."
==History==
The area was originally (from around 1285) called "Walker Gate", from the practice of "walking" or stamping upon cloth to make it softer after weaving. Up until the 20th century Nottingham's fortunes have been tied to the "rag trade" (cloth industry), and from 1343 to 1345 the price of wool in Nottingham Market was taken as the standard for all England.〔 However, it has not always been quite as pleasant as it is now: Sir Jesse Boot, son of the founder of the Boots the Chemist and the architect of the business empire it is today, was born in poverty in the area in 1850.〔Matthew H.C.G., editor. Dictionary of National Biography on CD-ROM. Oxford, U.K.: Oxford University Press, 1995.〕
