The Morley family were wealthy Salt Earthenware Manufacturers and Pottery producers. There is a converted 18th Century Town House and 19th Century former Public Hall. The People’s Hall was originally a Mansion House with a feature staircase with Cuban mahogany handrail. The staircase was converted and altered in 1854 for George Gill the founder of Peoples College. Within the cellar area there is a triple chambered cave system. In 1843 Nottingham School of Design (Nottingham Trent University) first opened to educate workers in the Lace and Textile Industry before becoming The Peoples Hall Institute a working mans hall.
