This Grade II listed building in Halifax Place, off Pilcher Gate, has an interesting history. Originally a Unitarian Chapel of c 1760 it was remodelled in the 19th century with an elaborate Jacobean gable and classical doors and windows. After being used as a school in the mid 19th century it became a lace warehouse and later a paint store, before being acquired by the Nottingham Theatre Club in the 1970s. For more about it, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lace_Market_Theatre . Halifax Place was shadowed when I took the photograph at about eight o'clock on a sunny August evening.
