After several silly ones, The Rose of England has reverted to its original name. It was built for the Nottingham Brewery Company in 1899, at the same time that Victoria Station was being built nearby. This shot shows the Tudor rose finial over the porch, the ashlar mullions and, to the left, the side of one of the three first-floor oriels on the Mansfield Road elevation (a motif Fothergill had also used on The Black Boy Hotel in Long Row, which was unforgivably demolished in the 1960s).
