This former "Ragged School" on Brook Street replaced the first Ragged School in Nottingham on Glasshouse Street. The now-demolished first 'edition' was founded by Thomas Smith-Wright, a local philanthropist and member of the well-known local banking family. This larger replacement, that opened in 1858 and closed in 1947, has been used as the headquarters of the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust since 2011. Also visible, is evidence of the some of the resurfacing of the pedestrianised area near to the newly revamped Market Square.
