I think you're referring to the main street, there are all kind of backstreets and alleys you won't of visited with tiny bars, small food places, arty stuff in attics, independent cinema, computer games makers, marketing agencies, Cooperative Arts theatre, music shops, handmade jewelry, a now closed tiny 'erotic films' place etc.  It combines with Lace Market area too down the hill.  It's worth a mooch about (before it gets too late) into those back streets.

It has now stood in away from that main (short street) for Soho in two films recently, including 'Last Night in Soho'.

None of this Ivy of course so moving on....

Actually, I was probably being unfair.  Derby only has Sadler Gate.  A beautiful street by day, a good place for the odd murder by night.  I took a beating down there in 1978 or thereabouts.  Sadler Gate is now a bit quiet shopwise, I think.  Derby has few attractions and I'd quite forgotten how much I love walking around Nottingham.  I used to go about once a fortnight ten to fifteen years ago, up and down Mansfield Road.  Hockley.  Canning Circus area.  A real city.  Derby is nothing of the kind.

Must have gone past there yesterday afternoon, in a taxi in the pouring rain, on the way to Radford.  Wasn't Smalley's around there?
