Part of the Thurland Street frontage of the former Nottingham & Notts Bank (now a lingerie shop). The building dates from 1882 and exhibits many characteristic features of the architect Watson Fothergill's eclectic style. Neither architect nor bankers could have envisaged that in the 21st century a comely woman in bra and pants would have been smiling so gaily out of one of the windows....
