The story behind one of Nottingham's most impressive buildings

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.

Now used by Nottingham College it was once a lace warehouse, designed by Thomas Chambers Hine, the man responsible for restoring the ruins of Nottingham Castle and making it into the museum and art gallery it is today.

Hockley's most striking building stands on George Street, incongruously surrounded by modern, less noteworthy architecture that you wouldn't give a second glance to. The magnificent 19th century property, a mix of Gothic, Old English and Bavarian influence, was designed by Nottingham's most acclaimed architect Watson Fothergill.
