Hurt's Yard - housing a cluster of small independent shops and enterprises - links Angel Street with Upper Parliament Street via a narrow alleyway (visible in the distance). Nottingham folklore suggests that a bygone era John Hurt owned premises in Upper Parliament Street and Angel Row, from which he sold alcohol, and that because having to manhandle barrels between the two sites - via a longer route - caused him a great deal of effort, he created the forerunner of this alley, running sharply downhill, to reduce his workload.
