Nottingham Local List Page:1 Nottingham Local List Page:1 Nottingham Local List Nottingham Local List Overall 83 respondents completed this questionnaire. The report has been filtered to show the responses for 'All Respondents'. The following charts are restricted to the top 12 codes. Lists are restricted to the most recent 100 rows. Do you think Nottingham City Council should hold a Local List? Yes (80) 98% No (2) 2% Please explain your response to Q1 The formal criteria for national level listing often exclude buildings that are of local significance and value - locally this community value is of equal or greater importance than the view of a national body. A local list would help to recognise local peoples' heritage. It might make developers, councillors and members of the public take more interest in their heritage and look after it better. It would present a further barrier to development. Nottingham should be a future looking, dynamic, changing City, not one that harks backwards to past times. Good for learning and tourism The heritage of Nottingham is important to the people of Nottingham. To better appreciate the complexities of local heritage i think its a good idea to have a list of important builduings to consider for planning purposes To recognise the significance of buildings and places to the city and enable them to be considered and protected more easily. Listed building regime already exists. What additional benefits does a local list bring (and costs)? Reliable continuity It would bring to the attention of everyone all the historic sites we have in Nottingham that people may not be aware of. Nottingham has lost many significant building over the years because there has been a lack of robust protection for our heritage. I think a local list is a useful tool, along with national listing, to help develop strong planning strategies in respect of interesting, important or unusual buildings, landscapes and features. take into account purely local significance enhance tourism by showing range of properties within the City allow for changes in future of what is thought to be worth preserving keep decisions about things of local significance local SnapSnap snapsurveys.com Nottingham Local List Page:2 Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 Many important buildings and sites have already been lost to planners in Nottingham. A local list may go some way to redress the balance Yes, but a carefully agreed list. It would be too easy for a minority group to try and sway what goes on the list. Sometimes even for listed buildings those included are not really good buildings to keep. Nottingham's heritage is very important.Once lost, historic buildings are lost for ever. I feel it is vital to preserve for following generations. Previous generations in the City Council did away with vast areas #, such as Drury Lane and drove the vile Maid Marion Way through historic street patterns for example. We need to make sure we don't lose any more of our heritage architecture We have some great spaces/ buildings/ monuments which should be preserved for the people of Nottingham as they have a significance beyond the national criteria Too many properties and landscapes are lost because the area or the property is not 'listed' in the accepted sense. too many buildings of character are left to deteriorate or are demolished without permission by developers or the like. A local list would be a good starting point for awareness of these buildings. Their condition could be closely monitored and maybe with greater awareness other/more parties could have a beneficial interest in them It will help know what is in the area Recognition of the most important aspects of our city from it's residents is a representative way in which to decide and promote them which should be a worthwhile investment. To stop developers from ruining beautiful / individual architecture of the past (or present) and turning Nottingham into a bland boring city of monotone 'flat-pack' buildings. There are numerous buildings which may not be of national importance but may be of local interest due to eg being of an architectural style that is uncommon locally such as Art Deco or Arts and Crafts. A city steeped in history should protect it's buildings and significant Sites of interest. Some buildings are significant to local people - but may be overlooked by national bodies. Because its our heritage The council should do its utmost to list and preserve as much of Nottingham's historic infrastructure whether it be buildings, landscape or archaeology. A classic example of where this has not been done in the past is the Great Central railway through Nottingham and its wanton destruction in the 1960's, And then 40 years later parts of it have at great expense been replaced through the city, I am thinking mainly of the tram route out to Phoenix park and to Clifton (where there was a perfectly good bridge over the Trent that was demolished only to then have to replace and upgrade the toll bridge further downstream to take the trams, Also the route under the Victoria centre would have been ideal for a better transport network than we have now serving Arnold West Bridgeford Ruddington Basford and the like This is just the tip of the iceberg in regard to what needs listing at at least local level as the city expands too many fine buildings are neglected We have lost a lot of beautiful buildings in Nottingham, I would love to be able to see a lot more saved Not all buildings/sites can be included in heritage sites or listed but are important to the history of the city and should be preserved It is important to have the information so the nominated sites can be well maintained it can engender a more positive outlook about Nottingham It makes local citizens more aware of buildings of merit and of the need to do what we can to preserve them. It therefore also helps to develop civic pride; the best examples of our built environment are more likely to be valued, cared for and passed on as a cherished legacy to the next generation. To protect Nottingham buildings of significance so that we never again demolish these buildings like the Victoria station!!!!!!! pure legal vandalism and the Black Boy hotel SnapSnap snapsurveys.com Nottingham Local List Page:3 Nottingham Local List Please explain your response to Q1 So that if any buildings are on the list and owners want to alter or demolish the buildings (like maid Marion Way was) then it will be instantly highlighted Great citys need to have a clear identity - Nottingham has some great buildings, we need to do what we can to make sure Nottingham doesnt turn in to just another city... Capturing details of buildings of historical or architectural importance and attempting to preserve them, or maintain them in a suitable manner; enabling decisions regarding other building projects to be sympathetic to the history and design decisions; preserving Nottingham's history and hidden gems To identify and acknowledge hidden gems in the City Why not we have history here The Local List was prepared originally by the City Planning Department about 1995-6. I obtained a copy, while the planners lost or mislaid theirs. I have brought it out from time to time. When Conservation Officers moved on none of their successors showed any interest. As some one who kept the flame alive I am disappointed that the Heritage Strategy has claimed it. In a similar vein the compil- ation of a Conservation Area for Bulwell should be (as with other C.A.s) part of the Conservation Of- ficer's job schedule. Is nothing ORIGINAL planned for the Heritage Strategy? Even canal walks/inform- ation boards I was involved with years ago. it could be used as evidence to preserve Nottingham local interest buildings that are not covered by statutory listing. Sell Nottingham to the world Nottingham City planners have already allowed too much of the city's heritage to be downgraded, degraded and lost. A great idea for anyone wishing to look at, especially students and schoolchildren - old and young too it will make people more aware of issues,in which they probably feel strongly about,but did not know things where happening and what they could /can contribute too. The planning authority and the local community should have a means of considering the affect of demolition of locally important buildings etc would have whether they have formal status or not. To better protect Nottingham's heritage and history assets from "quick buck" (and frankly thick) developers It allows a more direct information of the historical assets and portfolio of buildings that are not immediately state-related Heritage is an important way to look at both our history and how we shape our future. Hence I feel that a local list would be a useful tool in establishing the significance of buildings and places of historical interest. Formulating and adopting the local list will provide an opportunity for increasing public and professional awareness of the value of heritage to Nottingham's built environment. through public consultation and partnership working, the production of the local list will provide a better understanding of the nature of the undesignated heritage assets within the urban centre, allowing people to value them and interact with them, and ultimately preserve, conserve or otherwise utilise them for public benefit. they have strong economic and social potential in regenerating areas through their adaptive re-use and conservation. the local list will allow the council to adopt this as SPD so that they become material considerations in planning decisions.

  • The Watson Fothergill Trail
    THE WATSON FOTHERGILL TRAIL Watson Fothergill was a renowned architect who designed over 100 unique buildings in the Nottingham area. His influences were mainly from the Gothic Revival and Old English vernacular and his easily recognisable style includes the use of contrasting horizontal bands of red and blue brick, dark timber eaves and balconies, and elaborate turrets and stone carvings. 'Watson Fothergill' was born Fothergill Watson, on 12th July 1841 in Mansfield. He later changed his name to Watson Fothergill (in 1892) to continue his mother's family name. His father was a well-to-do lace manufacturer and merchant. When Fothergill was nine years old, he was sent away to boarding school in London but when his father died in 1853, his mother moved from Mansfield to Nottingham and Fothergill returned with her to go to a less expensive Nottingham school. Fothergill left school at the age of 15 in 1856 and became a trainee with Frederick Jackson, Civil Engineer, Architect and Surveyor, Nottingham. Jackson was also a friend of Fothergill Watson's late father and executor for Watson senior's will. It is thought that Fothergill may have worked on the plans of Nottingham that were published by Jackson in 1861. After four years, Fothergill went to work for I. C. Gilbert who was a Nottingham architect. Fothergill then spent two years in London studying and working part time in the architect Arthur Blomfield's office. In 1864 he returned to Nottingham to set up his own practice in Clinton Street. The first surviving Fothergill plans are from April 1871 for a Quaker School.
