Description: North end showing Severns Building on the right. Now Lace Centre. 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. The large brick building centre is Mortimer House by Watson Fothergill, a row of shops and offices, was built in 1883 for Mr. Tate. The roof line is extremely varied and complex as the building runs down the slope between Hounds Gate and round the corner into castle gate. A square tower dominates the top end, while a rounded turret caps the lower end. The style is less Gothic and more Old English vernacular, or even a touch northern European - Fothergill was greatly influenced by Continental architecture, particularly the buildings of Germany.
