19, Castle Gate

Number 19 Castle Gate is a Georgian townhouse with symmetrical window rows and classical proportions, built around 1775. The red brick structure with inlaid details shows typical features of the late 18th century.

The building arose when wealthy merchants settled in this district and built residences near the castle. The street developed into a sought-after residential area for Nottingham's elite.

The house reflects the prosperity that wealthy merchants accumulated in Nottingham during the Georgian period. The elegant facades along the street show how important this location was for the local upper class.

The house sits within walking distance of Nottingham Castle and the historic Lace Market district with shops and restaurants. Visitors should know the street can be narrow and quite busy with pedestrians.

The house received special protective status as one of very few buildings in England because its architectural details and condition are of exceptional merit. This recognition makes it a rare example of the high building quality of its period.
