Sadly, an overoptimistic statement - must be bananas! The bananas reference is drawn from the bananas sculpted from the brickwork. The origin of these is that the premises were built to house the wholesale fruit business of F Pearson and Sons. Their name in brickwork can be seen on another face of this building. The business moved away when the adjacent Sneinton wholesale market relocated.
