About Watson Fothergill

A group dedicated to the buildings designed by the Nottingham architect Watson Fothergill and also to the man himself.

Watson Fothergill (1841-1928) was the architect who designed many of Nottingham's most distinctive buildings including The Nottingham Express Offices on Parliament Street, Queen's Chambers on The Market Square and Queen's Street, Mortimer House on Castle Road and many more.

"There is always something to discover on most of his buildings. Go and look, and then go back and look again. Look for deep red brick, strings of stones or "blues", polychrome, timber framing and brick nogging. Look for tall chimneys, towers, turrets, oriel windows and fretted barge boards. Look for dormers, finials, castellations and balustrades. Above all look in particular for neat Gothic script, sometimes it is just a date, but often may been seen the proud, confident statement "Watson Fothergill archictect".
Ken Brand in "Get to Know Nottingham: Watson Fothergill"


The only real rule for this group is that the main focus of the photograph should be of Fothergill's work, whether it's the entire building or a detail thereof. So no general pictures of the Market Square which just happens to include Queen's Chambers, people posing in front of buildings etc.
