Found sandals near Nottingham Station, East Midlands.

I found these sandals on Sunday at 9:45 AM, outside Nottingham Station, near the taxi rank by the entrance. They’re blue canvas, size 7, with a small seashell charm on one strap. They looked recently left and a little damp from the drizzle. My mind went to someone rushing to a train, sandals hanging from a bag, shoes forgotten in the bustle. I picked them up, checked for a note, and found nothing. I hope the owner sees this and can reclaim them, perhaps near Old Market Square or the station's main doors.

Lost flutes in Nottingham, East Midlands

Last Tuesday around 7:05 p.m., I was leaving a rehearsal space behind the Council House and Old Market Square in Nottingham when my two flutes slipped from my backpack and vanished. One is a silver concert flute in a sturdy black case; the other is a wooden flute with a brass headjoint. I walked toward Stoney Street and along the River Trent, asking shopkeepers and peering into doorways, but they’re gone. Music has always been my anchor, and these flutes are essential for lessons I’m giving at college; I’m hopeful that someone who loves a tune found them and kept them safe.

Lost Ties near Old Market Square, Nottingham

On Tuesday at 11:45 AM, I was browsing a rack of ties at a stall near Old Market Square in Nottingham, East Midlands, United Kingdom when a strong gust whipped my jacket and my ties slipped from a zip pocket. I dashed after them across the cobbles, past the tram stop, but they disappeared into the crowd. They’re part of my interview outfit, and losing them has me stressing about my upcoming presentation. I’d give anything to see them again—if they’re found anywhere around Nottingham’s city center, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Found: ornate brooches near Market Square, Nottingham.

Today at 4:15 pm, I found these brooches tucked behind a bench near Market Square in Nottingham. I’d stepped out of a café for a quick breath when one glinted in the late sun and I pulled them out. There are two pins—a floral enamel piece and a small blue-stone pin—both worn and clearly well-loved. They feel like they belonged to someone who dressed up for a celebration, and I can almost picture them in a crowd of friends. I’d be thrilled to help reunite them with their owner. I’m keeping them safe for now, hoping this helps locate the rightful person.

LOST: Student ID in East Midlands

Hi, I’m Sophie Walker. I realized at 9:10 PM last Friday that my Student ID vanished somewhere around the Victoria Centre in Nottingham, East Midlands. Losing it has made library and lecture access feel uncertain, which is stressful in a busy term. I retraced my steps from the bus stop on Fletcher Gate to Market Square and the cinema foyer, but I didn’t spot it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that someone honest handed it in or that this listing helps the finder recognize it and return it to its rightful place in Nottingham.

Found holiday decorations in East Midlands

FOUND: I was out for a morning walk in East Midlands around 9:15 am when I spotted a tub of holiday decorations tucked behind a charity shop on Bridge Street, near Market Square in Nottingham. The tub held a jumble of fairy lights, a couple of baubles, and a red garland—likely left behind by someone else during a busy festive season. I picked them up and thought maybe they belong to you; they hadn’t belonged to me. If you recognize them, please get in touch through the site and we can arrange a safe handover near the Council House.
