No longer occupied by "Lamb's" Michelin-starred restaurant, this building and the adjacent gates, seen from Sherwood Street, are both located on a corner of the plot of land that was previously home to the former cattle market. The grey roofed building behind it is part of "The Water Meadows Swimming Pool and Leisure Complex". The area takes its name from its former state and function beside the nearby River Maun. This imposing building, attributed to the well-known Nottingham-based architect, Fothergill Watson (a.k.a. Watson Fothergill), is officially known as Cattle Market House. Dating from 1877, it also housed "The Cattle Market Tavern" once. Its British Listed Buildings entry describes this elevation on Nottingham Road as having a projecting rock-faced stone ground floor with a round corner tower characterised by machicolated eaves and conical roof topped with a wind vane. Playground equipment in Titchfield Park is visible on the right.
