It has a fascinating history
Nottingham's majestic architecture includes the grand Grade II listed property that's home to The Alchemist in King Street and the Arkwright building belonging to Nottingham Trent University. Another outstanding construction is the Adams Building - the largest building in the Lace Market.
Lucy Brouwer, who gives tours of Fothergill's buildings around the city centre, said: "I can't think of another building like Watson Fothergill's office. So much about Fothergill is built into it - his style, skills and influences. It made me want to know more about the person and his buildings. Lucy said: "From the timber-framed gable and fretted barge boards, and timber spire over the oriel window down to the large arched windows of the shop front it is a very personal statement neatly autographed in stone over the entrance in his signature Gothic lettering ‘Watson Fothergill Architect’ in gold.
Lucy was lucky enough to see inside the Grade II listed building a few years ago. "The interior retains a lot of the details that might be expected of a building with such a flamboyant exterior. Colourful Gothic-inspired stained glass in the hall for instance." Around 2001 University of Nottingham professors Terry Bennett and Sheila Gardiner privately purchased the building with the ambition of opening a Fothergill Centre celebrating not only Fothergill but also his architectural contemporaries. Despite plenty of interest, it never came to fruition.
