Fulforth Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 3DL

Terrace of 8 town houses along the main northern arterial road out of Nottingham, built c.1840, Listed Grade II. Mainly converted to offices in the later 20th century, some have now reverted to residential use.

This building sits in a slightly elevated position up a short drive just off Mansfield Rd (A60). It was designed in Elizabethan style - with mullioned windows - by T. C. Hine as one of The Bluecoat School’s earlier sites. It opened in 1853 and functioned here until 1967 when the school's new premises were opened in Aspley Lane. Today the building is the home of the Y.M.C.A. International Community Centre. Modern buildings on the skyline continue to highlight the city's rapidly changing architecture.

Late Georgian town house, c.1830, with late 19th century insertion of ground floor shops, Listed Grade II. Probably the house of the owner of the adjacent lace factory http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6225174 .

An attractive inn sign in modern style for a traditional pub. Against the clear blue sky it almost looks like a silhouette. The main frontage of the pub can be seen here Image Note the fancy pediment above the window, and the typical Nottingham cast iron street name of the period.

The corner of Bluecoat Street at its junction with Mansfield Road (A60) hosts one of the Bluecoat School's previous sites. The former school building was designed by Thomas Hines in Elizabethan style - with mullioned windows - and was opened in 1853. There are statues of a boy and a girl in traditional school uniform in corner niches in the front elevation. The school continued to function here until 1967 when new premises were opened in Aspley Lane. Today the building is the home of the Y.M.C.A. International Community Centre.

Above the junction with Woodborough Road, none of the shops have extended fronts. Virtually all these buildings have been converted into student flats above the shops. One of a series showing different building styles on Mansfield Road. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=5550541

The rear wings represent the earliest part of the factory, dating from c.1825, making it the oldest lace factory in Nottingham. The street frontage, with retail premises on the ground floor, is a later addition, c.1890. Listed Grade II.

A former lace factory of c1825 ("said to be Nottingham's oldest warehouse") that was extended forward in 1881-82 by W.F. & R. Booker in a manner reminiscent of some of Manchester's palazzo warehouses. Grade II listed. Now shops and offices.

There is an OS benchmark Image on the bricks to the left of the wall junction, left of the full height green doors
