Shoppers are excited following the news that an historic Nottingham building - labelled a gateway into the city - is set to be refurbished. The Canning Terrace Clock Tower, Canning Circus, is said to be the highest point to the west side of Nottingham.
In recent weeks plans have been put forward for a "facade restoration" with parts of the historic building currently in disrepair. The proposed refurbishment will include a return to its original colour scheme, repairing the render using the original lime mortar mix - a makeover that was already carried out on other parts of the building back in 2019.
The wider Canning Circus area has had its critics recently, with shoppers telling Nottinghamshire Live last year that the area had become "run down". Various small shops are currently bordered up and vacant.
