The changing face of Clumber Street in Nottingham once Europe's busiest shopping street

Clumber Street in its heyday was once branded Europe's busiest shopping street. Sadly it's lost that crown and shoppers in Nottingham have been speaking of their memories of the street and how it's changed over the years.

London's Oxford Street is now widely known as Europe's busiest shopping street, beating Madrid's Gran Via by almost 12,000 visitors a day. Shoppers in Nottingham, meanwhile, said Clumber Street had a reputation for being a hot spot for high street fashion and casual window shopping.

Like many high streets, businesses have come and gone on the street over the years. Popular camera shop Jessops is one example. Its Clumber Street shop closed in 2020, with charity shop the British Heart Foundation having announced plans to open in its place.
