Description: The offices of the Nottingham Evening Post, formerly the Guardian Journal on the corner of Forman Street and South Sherwood Street. The premises were built in the early 1870's and an article was published along with a lithograph in the 'British Architect' Journal on 16 October 1874. The accompanying text read, 'This illustration represents a handsome but plain building erected for the purpose of carrying on the Nottingham Guardian Newspaper, in conjunction with a large printing establishment. The offices are arranged for first-class printing machines, with suitable accommodation for editors, reporters, clerks, etc. The lithograph and general printing departments cover an area of nearly 2000 square yards. The proprietors are Messrs Forman and Sons. The street fronts are faced with Little Eaton and Hollington Stone. The whole of the floors are formed with iron girders and Dennett's patent fire-proof concrete arches, covered with boards. The rooms are unusually lofty, some of them being 14ft high; each floor has its lavatories and closets arranged for both sexes. The steam engine, built by Reader and Son, of Nottingham, is in the basement, supplying power to every part of the building where machinery is fixed. The cost was about £10000. The contractors were Messrs R Dennett and Co, Nottingham; Goddard and Massey, ironfounders, of the same town doing the iron work. Messrs Evans and Jolly of Nottingham were the architects. See NTGM002710 for a picture of the lithograph.
