The Adams Building on Stoney Street is the largest and finest example of a Victorian lace warehouse to survive in England and is Grade II* listed. It was designed by Thomas Chambers Hine and built for Thomas Adams a Quaker businessman who did much to improve the working conditions in his factories. The original building was opened in 1855 but later extended. The Adams Company closed the factory in 1950 and the building became a poorly-maintained warren of small businesses. The premises were acquired by the Lace Market Heritage Trust in 1966 and were eventually converted for use by New College Nottingham. Many of the courses held there, including fashion and textile related ones, continue the theme of clothing design and manufacture.
