Medieval Architect - Watson Fothergill's Offices - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

A statue on the face of Watson Fothergill's office building, depicting a medieval architect with a gothic cathedral at his feet. In his hands are the plans for a project. Many wonder if this is how Fothergill saw himslf with regards to architecture.

"The arrival of the Great Central Railway in Nottingham resulted in the relocation of all businesses in the area required for the construction of Nottingham Victoria railway station. Watson Fothergill decided to move to George Street, and his new office building was constructed in 1895.

The facade features a statue of a medieval architect, and busts of Augustus Pugin and George Edmund Street. Also inscribed on the building are the surnames of the architects George Gilbert Scott, William Burges and Richard Norman Shaw."
