Regent Court

Regent Court is a complex of shops and warehouses built between 1879 and 1883 by Samuel Dutton Walker and John Howitt of Nottingham. The building is constructed of red brick with blue brick accents, terracotta detailing, and ashlar dressings, topped with slate mansard roofs and corbelled side wall stacks. It is designed in a Renaissance Revival style. The upper floors are divided by lintel bands and pilasters, with a moulded cornice, coped parapet, and ball finials. Most of the original plain sash windows remain. The building is three storeys high, plus attics, and has 22 windows across a length of 9 bays.

The main facade along Derby Road has seven unequal bays, comprising three separate facades plus an additional bay to the left. The ground floor retains largely original openings, featuring pilasters and brackets supporting the fascia cornice. The shopfronts were renewed in the mid-20th century. The central six-window range has two bays, with triple sash windows on the first floor and above, incorporating round-arched triple sashes framed by ashlar columns. A machicolated frieze and brackets are present at the cornice. Above this are two dormers with coped gables and single sashes set under segmental pediments. Flanking the central section are ranges with a central entrance bay and two gabled dormers. The asymmetrical right-hand range features two windows to the left and three to the right, with a machicolated frieze. The left-hand range has three windows on each side, underpinned by a textured terracotta frieze. The end bay on the left has four windows on the upper floors and a dormer with three windows.

The left return, facing Derby Street, has a shop window on the right and smaller boarded openings to the left. Above, there are nine windows on each floor, and three dormers above that.
