Description: Showing Severns Restaurant before its move to Castle Gate. The Severns Building was, before its removal, a public house, selling home brewed ales, then a restaurant. Its original location, would today be roughly near the Middle Pavement entrance to Broadmarsh shopping centre. The Severns is a 15th Century oakframed, 3-bay building, one of the few remaining Medieval buidings in Nottingham. John Cawley Limited were awarded the contract to dismantle, repair and re-erect the building half a mile away from it's original site to Castle Rd. All members were individually numbered and transported to the machine shop for examination. Replacement oak members were machined and the frame re-assembled prior to refixing on site. It's new location, next to the Castle, has made it accessible to visiting tourists. It is used as a lace centre, showing the history and development of Nottingham lace, and has lace items for sale.
