On the corner of Clinton Street West and Lower Parliament Street and now a bank with offices (to let) above, this Watson Fothergill building was originally a shop, commissioned by Furley & Co, high-class provision merchants. Ken Brand's Nottingham Civic Society monograph explains that the terra-cotta panels appropriately depict men plying a sampan (carrying China tea towards Furley's perhaps) and an oriental market.
