About to be demolished it would appear to make way for "Funky new living space" according to the poster. There's another one on the side face of the building http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1733068 .

It appears that this 1960s apartment block is being demolished. The poster promotes new properties that are to built in its place.

The church is now an Islamic Centre. Built in bright Nottingham Patent Brick in a characteristically idiosyncratic Romanesque style, it is Grade II listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-459123-woodborough-road-islamic-social-centre-#.VZUQViiwHZY For more about Fothergill, and photographs of his buildings, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/The-Buildings-of-Watson-Fothergill .

The lower end (i.e the city centre end) of Woodborough Road (B684). This new medium-sized housing estate, completed at the end of 2011, lies immediately beyond the ex-Woodborough Road Baptist Church on the left of this picture. The ex-church now houses a Pakistani cultural centre. No.237 Woodborough Road, a house that used to exist on this stretch of road, was one of Arthur Mee's many homes. Mee (1875-1943), the second of ten children, moved here in 1889 when he was 14 yrs old. He matured into a prolific writer and is perhaps most famous for writing and editing the serialised publications "The Children's Encyclopaedia" and "The Children's Newspaper", although he was also highly regarded as journalist and editor within the London-based newspaper industry. He died in Eynsford, Kent in 1943.

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.

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 .
