Nottingham Buildings

Post Script:

This station is now closed pending demolition. 
The site, along with the old Central Police Station and Guildhall is to be re-developed to include an Hotel, offices and more student accommodation.  I hope they save the artwork of a Fire Fighter on the corner of the building and erect it somewhere it can be seen and enjoyed by the public.

The replacement building is on London Road at the junction with Crocus Street.

This building was opened in 1940 but I have been unable to find out who the architect was.

It is of a functional art deco design with a large practice yard to its rear.
