BBC NewsJust before 09:00, police on their radios were given the all-clear to begin removing the cordons.
Officers stationed at one of the many entrances to Old Market Square, which had been closed to members of the public, began wrapping up the reams of police tape tied around lamp-posts and strung across entrances to streets - blocking the path of trams and the public.
There were more than a dozen police vehicles dotted around the scene, a fire engine parked on Old Market Square and the bomb disposal unit to the entrance of Friar Lane.

BBC NottinghamThe market square in Nottingham is usually a convenient cut-through for people to get to their workplaces. But this morning, a cordon seals off all entrances after the suspicious package was found.
Schoolchildren, business workers, a window cleaner and a police officer walk by at the entrance to Long Row, where one of the cordons blocks off the tramlines which wrap their way around the market place.
People are understanding of the potential seriousness of the situation but are having to find alternative bus stops or ways to get to their final destination.
The mood is one of uncertainty but police say they expect the matter to be over within a couple of hours.
