New café to be built where terrible city slums once stood

A new café will allow customers to sit at the bottom of a cliff steeped in the darkest parts of Nottingham's long history. Nottingham City Council has granted permission for an old and graffitied warehouse on Cliff Road, near to Nottingham College's city campus and the tram bridge skatepark, to be torn down and replaced with a food and drinks venue and housing.

An area that is currently fenced off will be used as a garden for customers of the new café, planning documents submitted by applicant B Bhandal added. This new garden would allow users to "experience the cliff structure", which played an intriguing part in Nottingham's dark history.Cliff Road once formed part of the infamous Narrow Marsh district, which was a vast slum mostly inhabited by textile workers who had flooded into the city in the 1820s.
