Full Description

A suggested new conservation area centres on Green Lane. The proposed boundaries include a number of buildings that are already listed, included the former College of Art by F W Waller (1846-1933) of Waller & Son, Gloucester (husband of Jessie, daughter of T H Huxley) and Thomas C Simmonds, the College's first principal, a former pupil of Waller's and a keen promoter of the Arts & Crafts movement. Built 1876 [Builder, 9/6/1877] and extended by Waller in 1896. (3)
The former College of Art is a notable building in the Gothic style but with pronounced Arts-and-Crafts elements, resulting from the collaboration of the gifted principal Thomas Simmonds and his friend and former fellow student, F W Waller of Gloucestershire. It was completed in 1876 as the Municipal Technical College and enlarged in 1894. It is now an outpost of the University of Derby. (4)
