Adams Building : Nottingham

This is the Adams Building, in Nottinghams Lace Market district. It is now part of Nottingham College and hosts lots of students

Opened on 10 July 1855, the building is named after its original owner Thomas Adams , a Victorian industrialist with strong Quaker views and a deep social conscience.

It has been raining hard all day (and all last night too) , so our trip into Nottingham wasn't very productive , I got no stranger shot's !

I love how your image shows the outside but also invites you to look inside.

Great image to introduce this college building.

[Mags]

What a lovely example of old architecture. This place has so much character.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such beautiful architecture in red brick , great symmetrical design and repetition of shapes After all this you notice the door half open ,inviting you to look inside and see the one figure coming from the inside ! So much more than if it was a shut door ! - fav

Such an interesting facade and archway

[Dione Giorgio]

Hot and very sunny here. Time for swimming. Lovely looking building. To be honest it doesn't look anything like a collage for students through the open door.

An interesting doorway and history. We love bridges too Phil!
