| | Hockley Village - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hockley Village (or more commonly, just Hockley) is an area near the centre of Nottingham, UK, adjacent to the Lace Market. |
 | | However, it has not always been quite as pleasant as it is now: Sir Jesse Boot, son of the founder of the Boots Company and the man most responsible for turning it into the pharmaceutical empire it is today, was born in poverty in the area in 1850. |
 | | Hockley, with its galleries, design, fashion, New Age, and record shops, has been called "so sure of its own style and sense of community that its pavement cafes don't even hint at self-consciousness". |
