New College Nottingham’s 6th Form College on the right-hand side moved to Chaucer Street in 2001. The £6.3m building with its horizontally positioned ‘tin can roof' was designed by Ellis Williams Architects. The school began life as the Unitarian Day Charity School in the Lace Market area, later changing its name to High Pavement Grammar School. During 1895-1955 the school was situated in Stanley Rd in Forest Fields until it moved to a site on the Bestwood Estate. In 1975 it became High Pavement 6th Form College and in 1999 it was amalgamated into New College Nottingham. The Clarendon building on the left is divided into two sections, one used by Nottingham Trent University and the other by the Nottingham Women's Centre. This extensive building was built as The Midland Institution for the Blind. It was erected in 1853 to "educate fifty inmates and an unlimited number of non-resident blind persons and to instruct them in basket-making and other trades and callings". Additional workshops were added in 1889.
