For more than fifty years the Nottingham Historical and Archaeological Society have been exploring the caves beneath Nottingham and discovering forgotten objects of the past. The cave networks beneath the city are undoubtedly of historical importance, and the society is continuing to piece together the past and catalogue its findings.

The society is now holding open days on the third Saturday of each month from March to October, with the first day being Saturday, March 16.

Since the first excavation of the Drury Hill Caves, the society has also looked at the caves beneath Middle Pavement, Bridle Street, Goose Gate and several others across the city.

The society has been based in its current Lace Market site since 1990, where most of its findings are housed. This is also the site where society members piece together broken parts of items, record their findings and work on their maps of the cave networks.
