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.
From June 2015 the Nottingham Coaches 17 became the ‘Link 17’ circular service, running from Long Eaton, through Toton, Stapleford and Sandiacre back into Long Eaton. A timetable and map for this version of the route are also still available online (see link below), which show that the service now had 17A and 17C variants; one running the loop in each direction. Each loop ran half hourly with a single bus going round, and were timed to depart Long Eaton at 15 minute intervals.
The main thing I don’t know about the circular 17 was when that version of the route got withdrawn; I only ever saw it once. My best guess is that it disappeared sometime between late 2015 and mid 2016, although one interesting aspect is that for its first couple of months it would have served Toton Lane before the trams were running. The web page states that they were looking to expand the route to serve more areas, but as far as I know that never happened.
X232 FBB is seen here at the top of Stapleford Lane in Toton, just a little way down the road from the Toton Lane tram stop, demonstrating the Link 17 route branding alongside its not-quite-removed GNE logos. Although the timetable shows routes 17A and 17C for anticlockwise/clockwise, the letter prefix doesn’t appear on the destination blind. Going in the direction it is, this would be a 17A.

Back in February 1988 I went on a bus hunting adventure which included a visit to Nottingham where I photographed Nottingham City Transport Volvo Citybus B10M-50 / East Lancs H51/35D 305 B305KVO.
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, 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.
