Abstract:		 The building has a fine art nouveau style shopfront, perhaps inspired by Harrods, and a glazed terracotta superstructure with a clock and cupola on the northwest corner. Part of the internal galleried light well of the 1892 store was retained, and several of its cast-iron columns and capitals can be still seen inside Zara. Otherwise, few internal features of the 1892 and 1902-05 stores have survived. After 1920 the premises were enlarged to the south following the demolition of an adjoining shop. The façade of the extension was executed in a style matching the 1902- 05 building, but the goods entrance and sanitary facilities were reconfigured. Boots vacated the site in 1972. It has subsequently passed through several hands and undergone internal alterations. Boots' Pelham Street store is significant, not just as a particularly fine example of retail architecture in Nottingham, but as a key step in the development of one of the most successful national multiples in the United Kingdom. Pelham Street, perhaps more than any other Boots store, shows how the company introduced its working-class customers to a retail environment hitherto associated with the middle-class shopping experience. The listing status of the building was upgraded from Grade II to Grade II* in September 2018.
