History

Until 1996, Nottingham magistrates were housed in two separate buildings, the Guildhall and the Shire Hall.

In 1996, all magistrates were moved to the new Nottingham Magistrates' Court building, [1] and the old buildings were closed.

The Shire Hall subsequently was converted into the Galleries of Justice. The Nottingham Guildhall is occupied by Nottingham City Council.

Description

The building was designed by the Nottingham County Council Architect's Department with William Saunders Partnership and Cullen, Carter and Hill. [2] It sits on the site of Nottingham Carrington Street railway station and the gateposts still frame the pathway from Carrington Street to the court.

There are 18 courtrooms in the main block, with six courtrooms in the Youth and Family block.

The complex of buildings also includes the Bridewell Police Station.

The Midland Railway goods shed dating from 1874 was rebuilt to form car parking for the court complex.

Nottingham Carrington Street railway station was the first railway station in Nottingham, opened in 1839 by the Midland Counties Railway. Initially there were two lines with a central platform as well as side ones according to Billson. Victorian civil engineer Francis Whishaw described the station as:

"The elevation next to the road to Nottingham is of plain but neat design. It consists of a central portion and two wings; the central portion contains the entrance hall, which is of the whole height of the building. In the right wing is the booking office for first and second class passengers, with windows at which the passengers receive their tickets; the third class passengers obtain their tickets at a counter fixed in the hall. In the left-wing is the boardroom and clerks offices; and in a building projecting towards the passenger shed in the rear is a waiting room for ladies. The [train] shed is covered with a light iron roof in two spans, which is supported on the departure side by a brick wall, in which there are eight windows; and on the arrival side, and along the middle line, by two rows of cast iron columns, nine in each row."
