126 AND 128, DERBY ROAD

This building, originally a chemist's shop and now a restaurant and shop, was constructed between 1876 and 1877 by RC Sutton of Nottingham for EC Patchitt. It was later converted in the late 20th century. The building is built of red brick with painted ashlar and granite dressings, topped with slate mansard roofs. It features a brick ridge, gable, and side wall stacks, as well as a moulded cornice. Designed in a French Renaissance Revival style, the windows are plain sashes.

The building is three storeys high, plus attics, and has a five-window frontage on both Derby Road and Wollaton Street. Its triangular plan is based on an acute angled corner site, resulting in a rounded corner. The ground floor has a continuous shopfront with plate glass windows beneath an altered cornice. The corner entrance bay projects forward, topped with a shaped gable that incorporates a clock, datestone, and finial. A late 20th-century entrance doorway is present, and first-floor windows are framed within moulded surrounds, with the left window featuring a pediment.

The section of Derby Road frontage is symmetrical, with paired central windows flanked by single windows, all of which are pedimented on the first floor. The attics feature three box dormers with segmental pediments and cornices. Number 126, to the right, has a similar front elevation, with two windows and an altered shopfront. The first floor includes a paired window to the left with a cornice and a pedimented window to the right. The rear of the building, which faces Wollaton Street, has plain sashes arranged in a 1:3 pattern.
