“Located in the historic Adams Building, situated in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, The Adams Restaurant offers a unique dining experience for customers, serving contemporary cuisine, prepared, cooked, presented and served by students to the highest standards, at a price which is affordable to all,” reads the New College Nottingham website. The Adams Building, built as a lace works and now one of the college's campuses, is Grade II* listed: see http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-458875-adams-building-and-attached-railings-#.VfWBZiiwHZY .

According to David Hallam-Jones - The Adams Building on Stoney Street is the largest and finest example of a Victorian lace warehouse to survive in England and is Grade II* listed. It was designed by Thomas Chambers Hine and built for Thomas Adams a Quaker businessman who did much to improve the working conditions in his factories. The original building was opened in 1855 but later extended. The Adams Company closed the factory in 1950 and the building became a poorly-maintained warren of small businesses. The premises were acquired by the Lace Market Heritage Trust in 1966 and were eventually converted for use by New College Nottingham. Many of the courses held there, including fashion and textile related ones, continue the theme of clothing design and manufacture. This was before the building was cleaned up.

This very rusty and derelict Lancashire boiler was in the basement of the Adams Building. It was coal fired with mechanical stokers. It had obviously been out of use for some time and I have no idea if it survives.

This interior courtyard has evidently been put to good use as the outside play area for the children of students and staff attending this New College Nottingham nursery within the Adam's Building. As a former lace finishing and lace repair establishment even the link corridors seem to have been designed by T.C. Hine to allow in the maximum amount of natural light possible. The whole of this building in the heart of the Lace Market is a Grade-II listed monument.
