The Old Assembly Rooms is a Grade II listed building at 9 Low Pavement, Nottingham.
John Holland Walker records that there was an Assembly in Nottingham as early as 1739[2] The Old Assembly Rooms, also known as the Ladies’ Assembly, were built in the 18th century[3] and consisted of a handsome, lofty and spacious room 67 feet (20 m) long and 21 feet (6.4 m) wide, with a gallery for music at the upper end.[4] There were also two drawing rooms and a refreshment room. The building was altered in 1776-78 by John Carr, and repaired and enlarged in 1807–08 at a cost of £1,545 (equivalent to £112,900 in 2023)[5] raised by public subscription. The building was originally owned by the proprietors of the Grand Stand racecourse, but they sold it in November 1835 for £1,100 (equivalent to £115,600 in 2023).[5] to the committee of the News Society, for the use and accommodation of the Conservative Party in the town and neighbourhood.[6] Thomas Winter re-fronted the building in 1836.
In 1907 the building was converted for office use.[7]
