The Forest Fields district was built as Nottingham expanded hugely in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Terraces in these styles can be found all over the city.

A relatively rare, and possibly the only extant, example of Watson Fothergill's domestic work. Built 1901. See also Image 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. For a full list of his buildings, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/The-Buildings-of-Watson-Fothergill.

The picture includes nos. 65 to 95 which are three blocks of terraces built in 1901 and designed by the idiosyncratic Nottingham architect Watson Fothergill. These are probably the humblest buildings by him. Each block is separately Grade II listed.
