Nottingham: A Further Look Around Winter Wonderland & The Busiest  Shopping  Centre 🛍️

Nottingham Victoria railway station was a Great Central Railway and Great Northern Railway railway station in Nottingham, England. It was designed by the architect Albert Edward Lambert, and was opened in May 1900. The station's construction was on a grand scale a 13-acre (53,000 m2) site was acquired at a cost of £473,000 (£48.4 million), in the heart of Nottingham's city centre. The construction called for the demolition of whole streets of some 1,300 houses, 24 public houses.

The three-storey building was dominated by a large 100-foot clock tower topped with a cupola and weather vane. At the north end of the building, access could be gained to the parcels office via two large metal gates. Once inside the building on the ground floor level, one reached the large and lofty booking hall.
On each island platform were dining and tea rooms together with kitchens, sleeping facilities for staff, waiting rooms and lavatories.
Victoria station was finally closed on 4 September 1967 and demolished (amidst much opposition), leaving only the clocktower to survive amongst the new Victoria Shopping Centre and flats.
