10 and 12, Plumptre Street

A lace warehouse, later used as workshops, was built in 1861. The design is attributed to TC Hine of Nottingham, commissioned by E Steegman. Additions were made in 1880 and 1911. The building is constructed of red brick with an ashlar ground floor, along with ashlar, blue brick, and yellow brick dressings, and has a slate roof. It is an example of Italianate style architecture.

The exterior features a plinth, a ground floor cornice, a second-floor sill band, and an eaves cornice. Original cast-iron glazing bar casements are found on the ground floor, while the upper floors have original plain sash windows. The building is three storeys high plus attics, with five bays. It has a symmetrical facade with projecting central and end bays. The central bay includes a moulded round-arched cart entrance with wrought-iron gates, flanked by roundels displaying the date and monogram "ES". Above the cart entrance is a Venetian window, and above that, a flat-headed three-light window. An attic dormer with a round-arched window and a segmental pediment, flanked by sidelights and panelled pedestals, sits above. The side bays have three windows on each floor; the first floor has round-headed windows, the ground and second floors have segmental heads. The attic features three round-arched windows set into the parapet. The right end bay has a round-arched moulded doorway with traceried spandrels and a four-panel door. Above the door is a Venetian window, and above it, a three-light window. The attic gable is shaped with a Venetian window and a blank roundel above. The left end bay has similar fenestration, including a ground-floor loading door with sidelights and a fanlight.

The ground-floor interior has a conventional construction method with round cast-iron columns supporting wooden cross beams.
