Nottingham Daily Express

It continued as the Nottingham Journal and Express 8 April 1918 – 5 September 1953 (incorporating the long dormant copyright of the Nottingham Journal which had been purchased from William Bradshaw in 1887).

The ethos of the paper was marked by the inclusion over the door of images of the Liberal politicians Richard Cobden, William Gladstone and John Bright.

With their prominence as leaders of the Anti-Corn Law League (1838–46) these were suitable subjects for the Liberal newspaper to commemorate.

Inside the entrance are rows of tiles (originally on the Parliament Street front).

In 1899 it was extended towards King Street and a fourth floor added.
