This building became the Court House and Town Hall when the borough had its own mayor and aldermen.

The old town hall on Weekday Cross continued to be used alongside the Exchange and was refaced in brick in 1744.

[1] The building was raised several feet higher,[2] and a new clock was provided by local clockmaker, John Wyld.

[3] The Guildhall was abandoned in 1877 with the opening of the new Nottingham Guildhall, and the old town hall was demolished in 1895 when the Great Central Railway built a tunnel with the portal just underneath Weekday Cross.

The courts moved to a newly built Nottingham Guildhall on Burton Street.
