[edit] History

The building was opened in 1876 to a design by the architect Stuart Colman of Bristol. It was used as a place of worship or Unitarian Presbytarians in Nottingham until 1982.

It was then converted into the Nottingham Lace Museum, but this venture was financially unviable, and the building was then converted into the Pitcher and Piano public house.
