The people’s hall has an air of mystery, with many stories to tell, but for the last 200 years, the house has been unoccupied. The People’s Hall property on Heathcote Street (formerly Becks Lane) was originally known as the “Morley House”. It was built in 1750 for Ann Morley.
Ann and Charles Moreley were wealthy salt-earthenware manufacturers. The building, an iconic feature of the area, stands out for its red brickwork, thought to be from Ann’s own brickyard.
In 1842, the Nottingham School of Design, later Nottingham Trent University, opened its halls to train and educate textile industry workers.
In 1854, George Gill, a lace merchant, established the People’s Hall Institute, a ‘working-man’s hall’, and the story goes on.
Today...
The two buildings consist of an 18th-century townhouse and a 19th-century public hall. Sadly, the building is now derelict and in poor condition, but one can still see the beauty within.
A Grade II listed building sits over three floors, with a basement, cellars .....and caves, and many of the building’s original features are still in place.
Future..
The property is now inn the guardianship of the Nottingham Historic Building Trust Charity to preserve, restore, and bring back to life the People’s Hall.
