This building sits in a slightly elevated position up a short drive just off Mansfield Rd (A60). It was designed in Elizabethan style - with mullioned windows - by T. C. Hine as one of The Bluecoat School’s earlier sites. It opened in 1853 and functioned here until 1967 when the school's new premises were opened in Aspley Lane. Today the building is the home of the Y.M.C.A. International Community Centre. Modern buildings on the skyline continue to highlight the city's rapidly changing architecture.
