Weekday Cross, in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, was the main market area in Nottingham. As the location of the town hall, guildhall and main market, it was the centre of the town, before the market moved to the Old Market Square. It was also known as Weekday Market. ==The Cross== A cross (probably not the first) was erected about 1529-1530.
