Middle Pavement

Middle Pavement is a street located in the English city of Nottingham. At its eastern end it connects, via Weekday Cross, with High Pavement, Fletcher Gate and Middle Hill.

Along with High Pavement, Low Pavement and Castle Gate, it was part of the main route between the English and French boroughs of mediaeval Nottingham.

Middle Pavement also formed the uphill end of the old Drury Hill, and in 1819 a gas lamp was installed at the top of Drury Hill by the Nottingham Gas Light and Coke Company. Previous lighting had been by whale oil lamps.^{[citation needed]}

For a period after the destruction of Drury Hill during the construction of the Broadmarsh Centre, Middle Pavement had an entry to that shopping centre. Since the Broadmarsh Centre has, in turn, been demolished, it is unclear what will replace this.
