Peachey Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 4DJ

Definitely a good time for photography. Looking up Milton Street towards Mansfield Road.

Little changed since my 2009 photo https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1195740 although the blankness of the former entrance is alleviated with an informative panel.

After several silly ones, The Rose of England has reverted to its original name. It was built for the Nottingham Brewery Company in 1899, at the same time that Victoria Station was being built nearby. The delightful carved porch is surmounted by a Tudor rose finial. For an idea of the whole brick, ashlar and terra-cotta confection, click http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1024335 .

After several silly ones, The Rose of England has reverted to its original name. It was built for the Nottingham Brewery Company in 1899, at the same time that Victoria Station was being built nearby. This shot shows the Tudor rose finial over the porch, the ashlar mullions and, to the left, the side of one of the three first-floor oriels on the Mansfield Road elevation (a motif Fothergill had also used on The Black Boy Hotel in Long Row, which was unforgivably demolished in the 1960s).

The Rose of England, a typically exotic example of Fothergill's later style, was built in 1899, at the same time that Victoria Station was being built nearby. The tall chimney stack, with decorative brickwork, the timbering and brick-nogging and the finialed dormer are characteristic.

Built for the Nottingham Brewery Company in 1899, at the same time Victoria Station was being built to the right of and behind the camera, The Rose of England is a joyous example of Fothergill's late style, with dormers, oriels, a balcony and a lot of fine brick, ashlar and terra-cotta work. This is the moderately restrained side elevation to Union Road. For an idea of the whole extravagant confection, click http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1024335 .

The pub is another extravagant entry in Watson Fothergill's portfolio. Dated 1898-99. Grade II listed. Watson Fothergill, or Fothergill Watson as he began life, is Nottingham's Victorian architectural superstar. Walking around the city, it's not long before his idiosyncratic buildings jump out. Drawing on English traditions in a style sometimes labelled as Domestic Revival, his copious use of polychromatic bands of stone, timberwork and carved detail are very distinctive. In lesser hands, a mass of features results in an overwrought jumble, but Fothergill, despite apparently never working outside Nottinghamshire, and rarely even outside the city, was clearly skilled enough to blend everything together successfully.
