The arrival of the Great Central Railway in Nottingham resulted in the relocation of all businesses in the area required for the construction of Nottingham Victoria railway station. Watson Fothergill decided to move to George Street, and his new office building was constructed in 1895.
He is credited as having had a great impact on the architecture of the major British industrial city of Nottingham, and designed over a hundred buildings in the city, from offices, banks and warehouses, to churches and private dwelling houses. His easily recognisable style includes the use of contrasting horizontal bands of red and blue brick, dark timber eaves and balconies, and elaborate turrets and stone carving.
The facade features a statue of a medieval architect, and busts of Augustus Pugin and George Edmund Street. Also inscribed on the building are the surnames of the architects George Gilbert Scott, William Burges and Richard Norman Shaw.
The office was for sale in 2011, but failed to reach the £240,000 reserve price.
On 19 July 2015 the building was damaged by a truck[4] and was fully repaired by early 2018 - Wikipedia.

Nottingham, Queens Cinema. Opened as the Midland Electric Bioscope in 1909, renamed Midland Electric Theatre December 1911 and closed in June 1935. Reopened the following year as the Queen’s Cinema and finally closed suddenly on Tuesday 4th January 1955, with the rest of the week’s run cancelled. The auditorium was used as a car showroom and the foyer became a retail unit. Both of these have been closed for some time. The entrance (latterly Ricochet) and foyer appear to predate the cinema auditorium and are possibly part of the Queens Hotel designed by AN Bromley in 1905.

In the late 70's I was given a handful of slides by a friend. I am sure he won't mind me displaying them here.

Nottingham had a history of taking former Scania demonstrators and N113CRB, 761 was no exception.
It had been new as an unregistered demonstrator and was acquired by the undertaking when nearly new and with very little mileage on the clock.

Nottingham, Rose of England. The Rose of England Public House was designed in 1898 by Nottingham architect Watson Fothergill, in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. The cellar is hewn from rock and is part of a cave system which was once used by the Nottingham Brewery next door. It has also been known as the Filly & Firkin and the Yorker pubs. The 1st floor function room is sometimes used for live music events. Grade 2 listed, but surround by modern buildings.

Nottingham Elite Cinema. Designed by Adamson & Kinns and opened in 1921 with 1,477 seats in stalls and balcony. It was taken over by ABC (1935) and closed in favour of bingo in 1977 which lasted until 1985. Sadly the auditorium was destroyed in a conversion to shops and offices but the Grade 2 listed exterior has been restored to great effect.
