The Express Buildings can be seen to the right of the image.
This frontage was once the newspaper offices, printing works, shops and offices for Messrs. Jevons and Renals, proprietors of the 'Nottingham Express' newspaper. Watson Fothergill built them in 1875-76.
The corner entrance tower being inspired by the work of the architect Burgess. In keeping with the paper's Liberal leanings, the entrance is graced by carvings of the heads of three leading Liberal politicians of the day, Cobden, Gladstone & Bright.
The building including these sculptures can be seen in photographs NTGM002772 to NTGM002778. The upper storey was added by Fothergill in 1898-99 to provide the paper with more office space. Graham Greene worked in this building in his youth as a 'cub-reporter'. The building has here been restored.
