Journal Chambers

Journal Chambers, located at 28 and 30 Pelham Street in Nottingham, was built in 1860 by R.C. Clarke of Nottingham. Originally serving as the offices for the Nottingham Journal, it has since been converted into shops and offices. The building is designed in the Gothic Revival style, featuring red brick with ashlar and polychrome brick dressings, topped with a plain tile roof.

Architectural details include enriched sill bands and a bracketed cornice. The structure rises three storeys plus attics and has a four-window range of pointed arched two-light windows with shafts and polychrome heads. Above these are eight smaller single windows with an impost band, and further up, there are four steeply gabled wooden dormers with cusped two-light windows.

The ground floor showcases a type of shop front with crazy paving floors and sloping display fronts, a style that was popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s but is now becoming increasingly rare.

Additionally, there is a plaque on the first floor commemorating Sir James Barrie, who worked in this building from 1883 to 1884.
