Gallery entrance porch Woodborough Road Baptist Church. This entrance is actually on Alfred Street Central.

The church, now the Pakistan Centre, is one of the most striking works of Nottingham's most celebrated Victorian architect, Watson Fothergill. For a closer view, see David Lally's Image] (taken on a much sunnier day) and others. The picture was taken from the upper deck of a Gedling bus as it stood at the Shelton Street stop.

This extraordinary building was designed as a Baptist Church by Watson Fothergill. "The general style of the new building may be described as arch-round Gothic. The new chapel is being erected, as already intimated, over the schoolrooms built seventeen years ago. Consequently the old lines have governed, and to some extent hampered, the planning of the new structure," opined the Nottingham Daily Express on 21 June 1894. The building is Grade II listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-459123-woodborough-road-islamic-social-centre-#.VZUQViiwHZY For more about Fothergill, and photographs of most of his buildings, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/The-Buildings-of-Watson-Fothergill .

Recognisably by Watson Fothergill. Built as a Baptist chapel in 1893. The lofty tower has an interesting variety of roofs. 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.
