A shot against the light, down the hill towards Lister Gate and Castle Gate. "Low Pavement is one of Nottingham's most rewarding streets," writes Elain Harwood in the Pevsner Architectural Guide to the city. Nos 24-26, on the left, now a branch of Jamie Oliver's restaurant chain, was built in 1733-4 for Francis Gawthern. "The regular front conceals two L-shaped interlocking plans, No 24 having five bays to the front and No 26 five bays to the rear" (Elain Harwood). At the time they were built, the fine Georgian houses of Low Pavement and Castle Gate had pastoral views over the Leen and The Meadows towards the Trent and the Wolds beyond.
