Two opposing doors separate the room from the dairy and storeroom. Upstairs are two rooms, one large with a fireplace, there was also a hay loft for storage.

Nottingham’s latest piece of public art, is an elegant new sculpture standing in Bolero Square outside the National Ice Centre. It was unveiled on December 19 2003.
The striking landmark in stainless steel is lit from below and rotates. Its height and slender shape counterbalance the horizontal lines of Bolero Square. Nottingham City Council commissioned the19 metre high sculpture with £80,000 funding from the Arts Council England regional arts lottery programme.
The sculpture has been designed by Nottingham art and design partnership Wolfgang and Heron who won national acclaim last year for their Angel Wings sculpture at the N1 Centre in Islington, London. Working with them are structural engineers Price and Myers, a London company with offices in the Lace Market, Nottingham. It will be unveiled by Nottingham businessman and benefactor Mich Stevenson OBE, Chairman of the National Ice Centre company. His financial contribution to the sculpture made it possible.
Work has been taking place in Bolero Square for more than a month putting the rotating mechanism in place while the sculpture was being made by metal fabrication company Goodmans of Colwick.
The abstract design reflects the themes of ice, skate blades and the way skaters and sports stars turn on the ice.
Sculpture for Bolero Square
Client: Nottingham City Council (NCC) in association with the National Ice Centre
Consultant: Wolfgang & Heron, Artists, Price & Myers 3D Engineering, NCC Design and Property Services (DPS)
Contractor: Goodman Metal Works, Tanbry Construction
Contract: £98,800 March—December 2003
Background: In 2001 DPS successfully secured Arts Lottery funding to realise a long held ambition for a piece of public art for the National Ice Centre using European funds for its square as match funding. Nottingham artists Wolfgang & Heron secured the commission after a national competition. The brief asked for the design of an inspirational sculpture with both day and night-time presence. The artists worked closely with DPS staff and Price & Myers structural engineers to bring their design to fruition, employing a local firm to fabricate the sculpture. The Arts Lottery also contributed funds to promoting “Art of Regeneration”, the regular involvement of artists in NCC construction projects, a pilot culminating in the Bolero Square sculpture.
Description: The design of the sculpture is derived from the abstracted form of a pirouetting ice dancer and is fabricated entirely in stainless steel. 19 metres tall, with 107 discs, its precise individual shapes are computer-generated and have been welded to a central column. The sculpture slowly rotates, powered by an underground motor, generating a gentle wave motion. At night the sculpture is lit from below creating a dramatic play of light and shadow.
