A late, and pedestrian, work of Watson Fothergill, dated 1900, showing little of the vivacity which distinguished his earlier career. Grade II listed.
Built for the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bank, now offices of "crime and family" solicitors VHS Fletchers (the 'and' is very important).
Watson Fothergill, or Fothergill Watson as he began life, is Nottingham's Victorian architectural superstar. Walking around the city, it's not long before his idiosyncratic buildings jump out. Drawing on English traditions in a style sometimes labelled as Domestic Revival, his copious use of polychromatic bands of stone, timberwork and carved detail are very distinctive. In lesser hands, a mass of features results in an overwrought jumble, but Fothergill, despite apparently never working outside Nottinghamshire, and rarely even outside the city, was clearly skilled enough to blend everything together successfully.
