53, Stoney Street

No. 53 Stoney Street is a warehouse and offices, along with an attached chimney, built in 1873 by F. Williamson for Pratt, Hurst & Co., lace manufacturers. An addition facing Hollow Stone was made in 1904 by W.D. Pratt of Nottingham for the same firm. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs. It features a chamfered plinth, quoins on the end bays, ground floor and second floor sill bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The structure has five storeys plus basements and contains 5 x 14 windows. It is located on a corner site that slopes downwards from left to right on Hollow Stone.

The Stoney Street front has a central ashlar doorcase with granite pilasters, a cornice, and moulded 12-panel double doors with an overlight. There are two windows on each side of the entrance. Above this, there is a tripartite sash flanked by two windows, with similar fenestration on each floor above, including original margin glazed sashes on the second floor. The basement has four small openings, one of which is blocked.

The right return facing Hollow Stone features projecting end bays with two windows and regular fenestration, also with original margin glazed sashes on the second floor. The basements include inserted loading doors in the centre and end bays. At the rear of the building, there is an octagonal coped factory chimney.

The addition on the right is made of red brick with an ashlar ground floor and basement, ashlar dressings, and a slate roof. It has five storeys plus a basement and attics, with a three-window range. The ground floor and basement feature three tall round-arched openings divided by rusticated pilasters, complete with keystones and panelled transoms. To the right is a cart entrance, and to the left are two cross casements with three lights. The arches are glazed with wooden cross frames. The upper floors are divided by pilasters under a moulded cornice, with three paired windows on each floor, and original plain sashes on the third and fourth floors. The attic has a coped round-topped gable with a two-light window.
