Nottingham Guildhall, Grade II listed municipal building in Nottingham, England
Description
Nottingham Guildhall is a municipal building from the 19th century designed in French Renaissance Revival style, distinguished by its ashlar stone facades and tiled roofs. The structure spans multiple levels with architectural detailing typical of that period.
History
The building was erected in 1888 to replace an earlier structure that had served guild and civic functions. It subsequently operated as a magistrates court before ceasing that role in 1996.

The building reflects how Nottingham's local government roles changed and developed over more than a century. Visitors can walk through spaces where community decisions were made and see how the city's leadership adapted its purposes.
Practical
The building sits close to the old market square and is within walking distance of Nottingham's city center. Visitors can locate it easily when heading toward the main shopping areas.

Beneath the building runs a two-level cave system that was converted during World War II into an air raid shelter and emergency command center. These underground chambers reveal a hidden layer of the city's past that few visitors discover.
