The Victorian buildings of King Street are tall and, as it is narrow and runs north and south, often deeply and inconveniently shadowed. On a September evening low sunlight caught the bright brickwork and black woodwork of Watson Fothergill's huge Jessop's Drapery Store (1895). These elaborate and eclectic details, so characteristic of Nottingham's most celebrated Victorian architect, conceal a utilitarian concrete and iron frame. Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows the whole of the building, which was cleaned and restored in 1990.
