Nottingham Road, Basford
Description
A pair of cemetery chapels of 1876, built from rock-faced stone
with steeply pitched patterned slate roofs. The buildings were
designed in a Gothic Revival style and incorporate a number of
decorative elements such as granite shafts, lancet windows
with hood moulds and stone gargoyles.
Reasons for Risk
The chapels have not been used as cemetery chapels for some
time and were last used for storage, although this has now
ceased too. The buildings suffered fire damage in January 1995
and one complete side chapel was burnt-out and the roof
subsequently removed. The chapels present a long-standing
problem of identifying possible uses which are economically
viable in view of the amount of reconstruction that is required.
Possible Use: Residential/
Studio/
Workshop
Planning History
Proposals for studio use in association with a theatre company
and accommodation were discussed in the past but, so far,
nothing has come out of it.

Blenheim Lane, Bulwell
Description
Two outbuildings to Blenheim Farm, built of coursed limestone
rubble. The barn is early 18th century and has a modern plain
tile roof; the stable is mid 19th century and roofed in pantile.
Both retain a number of original fittings, partitions and stalls.
Condition:
Fair
Reasons for Risk
Risk Level:
Vulnerable
Used in association with the farm; low key use for storage and
partly unoccupied. The barn has suffered from structural crack­
ing to the gable end, weakened by door insertions, whilst the
stable has lost some roof tiles. One to watch.

Commercial Road, Bulwell
Description
A late 17th century dovecote built in the local vernacular mate­
rials (pantile roofs, brick stepped gables and local Bulwell
sandstone). The interior has nest boxes finished in plaster. The
ground floor has a stable door flanked by windows.
Reasons for Risk
The building was blighted by the construction of a raised sec­
tion of road through the centre of Bulwell and is now hidden
from most public views. Urgent repairs are needed to prevent
the loss of the roof. The door has been removed. Its location
below the raised road deck, its size and the lack of associated
land mean that it does not have an obvious economic future
use. Because the building is both isolated and concealed, it is
particularly prone to being used by tramps and drug users and
has been heavily vandalised.
Possible Use: Suggestions
are welcome.
Planning History
In 1985 the dovecote was repaired by the Nottinghamshire
Building Preservation Trust. Since local government reorganisa­
tion, it has been in the ownership of Nottingham City Council.
There are on-going issues of appropriate use and maintenance
costs. More recently a scheme was proposed to relocate the
dovecote. The relocation of this was part of the abandoned
Bulwell interchange scheme.

Holgate, Clifton
Description
A very important country house with a long history. Dating from
the late 16th century, much of what can be seen today dates
from a series of remodellings in the early and late 17th century
and the mid 18th century. John Carr of York once more remod­
elled the Hall in 1779.
Reasons for Risk
The reorganization of Nottingham Trent University left Clifton
Hall surplus to their requirements. The University closed the Hall
in 2000 and in 2001 it was sold to the Raven Group, a housing
development company. Because of the Hall's layout and its
amazing interior decoration, the main section of Clifton Hall is
unsuitable for sub-division into apartments. The south front
needs comprehensive repair to remove rusting iron cramps that
are damaging the masonry.
Possible Use: Residential
Planning History
A Planning Brief and Conservation Plan were prepared in 2000.
Various proposals have been discussed with the Local Planning
Authority including extensions, adaptation of main building and
design of new housing to replace the Annexe. The main section
is being marketed as a pair of dwellings at the moment.

Home Farm Cottages (Former Stables to
Clifton Hall), 1 & 2 Holgate, Clifton
Description
A former stable range, built to serve Clifton Hall. These late
18th century brick buildings were possibly designed by John
Carr of York, or adapted by him when he carried out works to
the Hall itself. The design of the wings is typical of his stable
buildings. It is also likely that the render is a later finish and that
the buildings were all originally finished in brick with stone
dressings. The stables are owned by Nottingham City Council
and are let on an agricultural tenancy.
Reasons for Risk
The stables are under-used and in a poor condition with
smashed and boarded-up windows, and a heavily eroded and
water damaged cornice and render. One of the former stables
which was converted to living accommodation (Council owned)
had recently been burnt out but repairs are now close to com­
pletion. One to watch.

Description
One of a pair of Regency town houses, built in about 1800. It
was adapted in around 1870 to provide attic workshops in
raised mansard roofs. At the end of a long courtyard range,
there is a contemporary warehouse. This was possibly added
during the expansion of lace manufacturing in Nottingham to
satisfy demand for additional finishing space.

Nottingham
Description
One of a pair of town houses of about 1830 with attic work­
shops, within the Lace Market area. These red brick buildings
are one of a number that were adapted for the lace industry in
the mid 19th century with raised roofs and clerestory lighting for
finishing lace. This building represents a transition between the
domestic scale of operation and the late 19th century purposebuilt warehouses. It is typical of Nottingham town houses,
having raised stone wedge lintels above sash windows.
Reasons for Risk
Vacant since 1995 and some previous damage by fire. The
proximity of the ice stadium creates some problems with traffic
and there has been some uncertainty over the future use of
Barkergate House (opposite). Interested parties may have been
waiting to see what transpired.
Possible Use: Office/
Restaurant
Planning History
The building has planning permission and listed building consent
for A3 (food and drink) use, including a glazed side extension.
The building is not suitable for residential conversion. Car park­

Description
A mid 18th century house, refronted in the early 19th century
and at that time rendered in stucco. The original form of the
18th century building is still evident at the rear, where the gable
end (now rendered) has a raised brick coping and kneelers.
Reasons for Risk
Lack of maintenance and repairs to the fabric have exacerbated
problems of brickwork deterioration (particularly evident at the
rear). There is evidence of severe damp affecting brickwork and
contributing to the failure of render, although the roof appears
to have been recently renewed.

Beeston Lodge & attached Boundary
Walls, Derby Road, Wollaton Park, Nottingham
Description
A symmetrical gatehouse designed by Sir Jeffry Wyatville for
the 6th Lord Middleton in 1832, following the Nottingham Re­
form Bill riots of 1831. Designed in a defensive form with a pair
of martello towers connected by a gated arched entrance with
oriel window above. The building is of fire-proof construction
with precisely cut blocks of tooled ashlar in pink gritstone.
Reasons for Risk
Vacant and in poor condition, vulnerable to tramps, squatters
and drug-abuse. There is considerable structural movement
and distortion over the arch and along the central party wall,
large gaps have opened up between blocks of ashlar. Repairs
are needed to grout and pin the open joints. There has been
considerable damage to the stone capping where cast-iron
chimney pots have rusted and fractured the stone.

23 High Pavement, Nottingham
Description
A large town house dating from the 16th century, but re-fronted
in 1728-33 for William Hallowes. The right wing was added in
1833 by Moses Wood and John Nicholson with a Greek Re­
vival basement colonnade and a very large Civic Room above
(the equivalent of two storeys). This was designed as the
Judges Dining Room with an Egyptian decorative theme, whilst
the rest of the building was converted to the Judges Lodgings.
Reasons for Risk
Under-used and only partially occupied. Gutters have failed to
the rear and there are signs of water penetration. The building
was formerly the County Council Offices and between 1966 and
1992 the County Record Office. It has not been in regular use
since then. There is some shoring to the elevation facing the
adjacent gap-site but no particular signs of structural failure.

Great Northern Warehouse at Former
London Road Railway Station
Nottingham
Description
A corn warehouse built in 1857 for the Great Northern Railway
Company. It was designed by Nottingham architect T C Hine in
conjunction with the adjacent main station building on London
Road (the Low Level Station). The design incorporated a major
technological achievement - the principal roof spanned a huge
void with only iron suspension rods supporting the first floor.
This provided the maximum possible roof space for grain
storage.
Planning History
The building was sold by Nottingham City Council to the present
owner with a contractual obligation to carry out a restoration
scheme. However, no repairs were carried out. In 2000, the
owner was refused LBC to demolish the building. His appeal was
dismissed at public inquiry, but no further action has been taken
since. Several proposals for residential use have been discussed
with developers but no applications have been submitted. The
building continues to deteriorate. It now falls within the East Side
Masterplan for the regeneration of the whole area. A number of
mixed use options are being considered which will be subject to
detailed development briefs.

Mansfield Road, Nottingham
Description
Designed by Henry Moses Wood, the Borough Surveyor, in
1857. Forest Lodge was designed as a police house and lodge
to the former Nottingham racecourse (now called The Forest
and the site of the annual Goose Fair). The racecourse was in
fact established in the 18th century before it moved to Colwick
in the latter part of the 19th century. At that time the Forest
became a City Park and has continued in this use ever since.
Reasons for Risk
Empty and vandalised. The City Council has had difficulty in
maintaining a permanent residential presence in the Forest
Lodge. Each time that a new tenant is sought, the building has
been subject to both vandalism and the presence of
squatters.The building is now boarded-up and the site secured.
Possible Use: Community/
Residential/
Office
Planning History
None. The City is trying to find alternative uses such as retail and
public use in order to maintain a reliable presence and sustained
occupation. Lodges present the City Council with a particular
problem. Their sale would break up historic sites where the
historic integrity of the original Park is important for security and
interpretation. Retention in City freehold ownership is therefore
seen as being in the best public interest.

Description
A town house of the early 18th century, with a stuccoed frontage
and an important decorative central staircase. The building at
one time had a semi-circular portico in front of the existing Ionic
pilastered doorcase, but this was removed when the garden front­
age was taken away in the 19th century. In the 19th century the
building was adapted, like most of the town houses in the Lace
Market area, into warehousing for lace finishing. The building was
extended to the rear with clerestory glazing and many of the in­
ternal walls were removed and either re-located or replaced with
columns and beams.
Reasons for Risk
Vacant and in a very bad condition. Some areas of the building
are in a very poor state of repair, as many of the internal walls
were removed while the original house was adapted to a ware­
house for lace finishing, and some of the inserted structural
beams are in poor condition. The roof needs urgent attention to
avoid structural collapse.

10 Short Hill, Nottingham
Description
A five-storey tenement lace factory, built in 1870. Red and blue
brick with arched cast-iron windows and corbelled brick eaves.
There are two projecting staircase towers at either end with
canted corners, a raised clerestory attic and a separate de­
tached chimney stack. The building was previously used by J B
Spray (garment manufacturers) and their name appears in
faience tiles on the frontage.
During the expansion of the lace industry in the late 19th cen­
tury, outer areas of the city were heavily developed for lace
manufacture. These factories are generally much larger than
the buildings of the Lace Market and were designed for heavy
lace machinery. In recent years a large amount of residential
conversion has displaced the original commercial businesses
in these factories. This is one of the few remaining factories
that have not been converted to an alternative use.
Possible Use: Industrial/
Community
Reasons for Risk
Vacant, redundant, and in a poor condition; there is vegetation
growing from the high level brickwork, the roof has been re­
modelled and the pitched slate roof was replaced with a flat
asphalt roof, which has failed in places.
Planning History
None. The owner is unwilling to sell the property and prefers
community uses.

stucco, which was converted to a warehouse in the late 19th
century. The ground floor is treated as a basement with arched
sash windows. The first and second floors are given a classical
treatment, divided vertically by four Doric pilasters, a false
balustrade, frieze with swags and roundels and dentilled cor­
nice. Above this is an attic storey punctuated with round win­
dows.
Reasons for Risk
Vacant and in a poor condition. The building has been over­
loaded for many years with lace storage (from floor to ceiling)
which has had an impact on the strength of the floors. The last
business to occupy the building as a lace warehouse left in
2001. The building requires considerable investment to rein­
state missing walls, carry out structural repair, reinstate sympa­
thetic roof coverings and restore the historic interiors.
Possible Use: Residential/
Office/
Restaurant
Planning History
Planning permission for conversion of ground floor and base­
ment to restaurant and upper floors to residential was approved
in May 2002.

Description
A brick-built warehouse of 1860-70, designed to look like a
townhouse facing onto Short Hill. There are three floors of
identical heights with sash windows to Short Hill, separated by
stone bands and finished with a stone bracketed cornice and
brick parapet. It was extended and altered in 1909 by Taylor &
Thraves.

The Ropewalk, Nottingham
Description
A brick-built waterworks pumping station in the Early English
style, with brickwork laid in English bond with diaper work,
stone lancet windows, square corner tower, buttresses and
corbelled parapet. Built in 1850 for the Nottingham Waterworks
Co. This building was the first of a series of pumping stations
built to extract water from artesian wells to supplement the
city's water supply. It only worked from 1850 to 1880, when the
Corporation took over control of water supply. It was last used
as a garage.
Reasons for Risk
Vacant and in a poor condition, in particular the brickwork. The
building is dark, with few windows, and there have been some
problems over identifying suitable economic uses that will not
fundamentally change the character of the building.
Possible Use: Suggestions
are welcome.
Planning History
No use proposed at present although some discussion over
potential for housing, avoiding sub-division of spaces.

Wollaton Park, Nottingham
Description
A kitchen garden wall completed in 1788. It is built on plan as a
parallelogram and incorporates four acres of ground. It features
an early example of integral heated walls (the south, east and
central walls have flue-lined brickwork). There are mid 19th
century bothies and mushroom sheds along the north side;
these have been significantly altered, with replacement con­
crete tile roofs and only a few sections of 19th century pantile
remaining.
Reasons for Risk
The whole area is disused and is overlooked.
Possible Use: Workshops/
Storage
Planning History
Both a Conservation Plan and a Landscape Restoration Man­
agement Plan have been produced for the Wollaton site (2002).
These have identified maintenance priorities and repair costs,
which are now subject to funding applications to grant-awarding
bodies.

Wilford, Nottingham
Description
A terrace of three small brick cottages, built in the late 18th
century. The cottages are tiny 'one-up one-down' dwellings with
a continuous lean-to at the rear. A fourth cottage has been
demolished. The west end cottage was converted into a shop
in the 19th century but has been much altered internally. The
building still retains its clay plain tile roof, a wooden shopfront of
around 1875 and Yorkshire sash windows with shutters.
Condition:
Poor
Reasons for Risk
Risk Level:
At Risk
Vacant. Many roof tiles are missing and the building is deterio­
rating rapidly. It is owned by two members of a family and the
disposal of the property, as far as is known, has not been re­
solved. One to watch.
