Hockley boasts a range of independents
The survey said: "Slap in the city centre beside the swish Lace Market apartments, Hockley is a mecca for cool types.
"Besides its art galleries, New Age outlets and cafe culture, the beating heart of Hockley is the Broadway cinema, which hosts regular festivals."

“Someone has gone to an awful lot of trouble to Paintshop out all the "to let" signs. The Lace Market has been in decline for the past ten or more years. So it's not cool its rigor mortis.”

“Err, I think that is actually Goose Gate in the picture, Hockley is the short bit going on to Parliament St. In my youth my Mum, who lived on the Promanade, by Cambell Grove, had friends with a shop on Hockley. Her Dad was Tom Whitby who ran a Chrabanc in Snienton. He used Hockley as a pick up and drop off point. Is it still part of Snienton, I wonder?”
