Description: This ornate building was Watson Fothergill's Offices, 15-17 George Street. In 1893 Fothergill had to vacate his Clinton Street (Nottingham) offices as the railway was being extended into the heart of Nottingham and the land was needed for the approach to the new Victoria Station. He built his new offices nearby in George Street in a confident, flamboyant Gothic style. Just below the first floor windows are four terra-cotta panels showing the building of classical, medieval and Elizabethan buildings - possibly depicting the construction of Wollaton Hall. The ground floor was designed to be a self-contained shop which Fothergill sub-let, providing an income to pay for his own offices on the upper two floors.
