Caves under Nos 3-7 Middle Pavement is a series of artificial caves located beneath a row of buildings in Nottingham city centre. The caves form part of the extensive network of sandstone excavations underlying Nottingham, which were created over many centuries for various domestic and commercial purposes. Dating primarily to the medieval period and later, these particular caves reflect the local tradition of exploiting the soft Bunter sandstone to create underground storage and habitation spaces. The caves remain significant archaeological evidence of Nottingham's distinctive urban development and the practical adaptation of the geological resources available to the town's inhabitants.
