Description
J B Spray and Company Russell Street Mill is a disused tenement lace factory located on Russell Street in Nottingham, built around 1870. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring blue brick, moulded brick, and ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs. It has a plinth, machicolated eaves, and coped gables. The windows are primarily original cast-iron glazing bar casements with segment-arched polychrome heads. The mill stands five storeys high, plus attics, and consists of 13 bays.
The front facing Russell Street has canted stair turrets at each end, which include staggered round-arched margin light windows. On the fourth stage, there is a dormer with a coped gable, and the roof is canted and hipped with a finial. The central section features regular fenestration, with the name "JB Spray & Co." displayed in faience tiles between the second and third floors. The attics have a clerestory with continuous wooden framed glazing bar windows, and the rear exhibits similar fenestration. Historically, this building was used at different times by the Raleigh Cycle Company and by JB Spray, garment manufacturers.
