Description: Looking from Bridlesmith Gate, with the bottom of Bottle Lane on the right. The architect of the 'County Club' was Thomas Chambers Hine (1814 - 1899), which he built in 1868. He was responsible for many distinguished buildings around Nottingham, notably the planning and development of Park Estate, which took over 30 years to complete. He was also renowned for his designs of warehouses and factories in the Lace Market, his sympathetic restoration and extension of Nottingham Castle where he converted the gutted shell of a Renaissance palace into the first provincial Museum of Fine Art, and the eighteenth century General Hospital building, to which he added a third storey and Gothic chapel.
