This web site has been set up as a brief introduction to Nottingham's Victorian architect, Watson Fothergill, his life and work. We plan to expand this site over the coming months to include more information about the man and his buildings, and hope to include more pictures of those buildings.

In the meantime, we would be most interested to hear from you with comments about the site. We would be delighted to hear from anyone with information about Watson Fothergill or his work.

In particular we would be very interested to hear from anyone with information about, and/or photographs of any of the lost or demolished buildings, or from anyone with details of any previously undiscovered Fothergill buildings. Are there any more out there that have been missed?

We are especially keen to learn more about his connection with a house on St. Helen’s Grove, Burton Joyce.

Did Fothergill's design Mr. Arthur Salt’s house on Station Road, Southwell?

What was Fothergill’s connection with Mr. Littleton’s house “Dunedin” or “Burnage Court” in Sydenham?

Did he design buildings in Retford or Heanor?

Can you help us in our research?

I am slso trying to find out more about Fothergill's "right-hand-man" Lawrence George Summers. Ay information would be greatly welcomed, and I would be delighted to contact any of L G Summer's descendants.

We look forard to hearing from you!
