Having never heard of Jacobys  I decided to look it up on t'interweb and learned a lot more about Nottingham that I did not know   Jacobys was a lace manufacturer founded by Moritz Jacoby an

Found this on internet some time ago of when the Lace Market factories were working.  

If you click on Trogg's image, you get an enlarged version.   It's taken on Broad Street, looking towards Stoney Street.  The surrounding buildings haven't changed much.  

Late 90's I think. I seem to remember Faces was created at the time when Black Orchid was closed to become Isis. Sue Brailsford ran promotions for them and sent me a Famous Faces card for years even though I only went a few times.

My Ex used to work at the INTERCON, under the Vic Centre. 1972? The entrance, with steps leading down, was roughly where Vision Express used to be. Opposite Shakespeare Street. (It was called something else to start with, which escapes me for the moment)

Just looking back over the distant years when I was a youth in my prime and used to spend loadsa time boppin' at The Brit, Union and Boat clubs. They were the Mod days. Graduated to Hippydom a few years later, but the Tamla, Atlantic, Stax and Northern Soul sounds still resonate with great affection and wonderful memories of my coming of age in Nottingham.

Saw the Beatles at the Odeon, maybe 63 - had to ballot for tickets - and the Stones at the Albert Hall? around the same time. Frequented the Brit mostly in the 60s, and remember a band called the Corsairs. Before that it was the Locarno, under 16s night of a Tuesday. Just soft drinks and groping.

A question was asked by somebody on the Nottingham Facebook page; was there a club - or pub - or bar - called the Jethro Tull in the Lace Market. No hint of when it might've been, but probably 70s or 80s. It vaguely rings a bell with me.

Was the Belvedere in the Lace Market? There was a club there with a jazz band that stopped serving drinks at about 10.30pm. We would round off an evening there after that time with a bowl of mushy peas before getting taxis home.

Yes it was, directly behind the Windmill which was opposite the Cross Keys. I think I spent more time in the 'mill than I did at home.
