Description
14 to 30 King Street is a drapery store that has been converted into shops and offices. It was built in 1895 by Watson Fothergill of Nottingham for Jessop & Son and was restored around 1990. The building is made of red brick with ashlar, granite, and terracotta details, set on an iron and concrete frame. It features gabled and hipped roofs covered with plain tiles, along with several corbelled brick stacks.
The facade is irregular and designed in the Domestic Revival style. It has a first-floor balustrade, sill and impost bands, and string courses. The structure consists of 4 and 5 storeys plus attics, with a total of 13 windows. Most of the windows are stone mullioned cross casements. The front is divided into 5 bays by brick pilasters, with 4 bays featuring timber-framed gables adorned with patterned bargeboards.
The four main bays on the right display arcaded fenestration, each with uniquely shaped arches on every floor. The prominent fourth bay includes a fifth-floor oriel window with three lights and a balustrade supported by brackets. The timber-framed attics have two hipped through-eaves dormers and a pyramidal roof topped with a square turret and finial, which also has a pyramidal roof. The second and third bays feature canted oriel windows with three lights over three storeys, while the fourth bay has a square oriel window on the first floor, also with three lights, supported by cast-iron brackets.
The first bay is simpler, with flat-headed windows and a canted oriel window on stone brackets at the attic level. The ground floor retains original openings defined by granite pilasters, some original glazing bar overlights, and late 20th-century shopfronts. This building is a significant example of Watson Fothergill's commercial architecture.
