Heathcoat Buildings

Heathcoat Buildings, located on Goose Gate in Nottingham, were constructed between 1879 and 1881 by architects Samuel Dutton Walker and John Howitt for HG Jalland. This building, which includes Nos. 6-12 Heathcoat Street, features a Gothic Revival style and is made of red brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs.

The design includes string courses, a machicolated eaves cornice, and pilasters that define the end bays of each front. The ground floor has a continuous shopfront with panelled ashlar pilasters and a fascia cornice. The windows are primarily plain sashes, with those on the second floor featuring polychrome segmental heads. The building stands three storeys tall with attics, situated on an acute angled corner site. The main front has a rounded corner with five bays and return facades of three and five bays.

The main entrance is centrally located and flanked by two plate glass windows, all equipped with ventilator panels and leaded overlights. Above this, there are seven windows on each floor, and the attics contain five hipped dormers. The Goose Gate front, which has three bays, features two altered shopfronts on the right and above them, two floors each with eight windows. The attics here also have three hipped dormers. The Heathcoat Street front has five bays with five largely original shopfronts and a side entrance. Above this front, there are twelve windows on each floor, and the attics again feature five hipped dormers. The building was restored and converted in 1992.
