They are hidden from view
While Nottingham has plenty of stained glass windows on display, there are some that you would be forgiven for missing completely as they are tucked away from view. Hidden down an alleyway better known for bins than beautiful works of art, Bottle Lane has some of the prettiest examples in the city.
It's not just the windows that can be seen from the outside but there are examples used throughout the interior too with a stained glass ceiling at the top of a grand staircase. The club was given a £1 million refit before it opened, with many of the original features being kept like the bathrooms, carpets and some of the furniture.
It was once known as Lyndby Lane after Mr Hugh De Lindby, who was the Major of Nottingham in 1400. The street had a name change in 1750 when it switched to being called Bottle Lane, although locals had been referring to it as this for some time already. The three-storey building was once home to the Imperial Life and Fire Insurance Company in Nottingham which is why the word 'Imperial' can be seen on the exterior. In 1913, it transformed into the Reform Club, which is where some of Nottingham's middle and upper classes, including Boots founder Jesse Boot, went for something to eat.
