St Nicholas’s School is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plans occupying ground between the northern part of Hanover Square (South) and the city walls, north of the junction with Hanover Street.

It survived until 1937, when it was taken over by the neighbouring Federation Brewery for use as fermenting rooms.
