The Old Ragged School in Sneinton Market, Nottingham was opened in the 1850s by Lord Shaftesbury to provide education to the poor children of Nottingham. By 1995 the building was in extremely poor condition due to decades of neglect.
Happily the NottinghamshireWildlifeTrust saw the potential of the building as a new headquarters.With the kind support of the Heritage Lottery Fund a £1million project saw the restoration and conversion of the building which remains the Trust’s headquarters.The project was successful in the Nottingham Lord Mayor’s Award Scheme and also received a commendation from the Nottingham Civic Society.
The design work and contract administration was carried out by Peter Rogan.
