County House, High Pavement
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 27 Aug 2010
This is the eastern part of a house with mediaeval origins but remodelled c. 1728-33 and again in 1833 which became the Assize Judges' Lodgings and later county council offices. In the Pevsner Architectural Guide to Nottingham, Elain Harwood says this wing "looks like an Athenaeum or Literary Institute [and] housed the judges' dining room". The squat Doric columns are of cast iron. They are seen through one of the iron gateways of Shire Hall, opposite.
