So, we have some exciting news! We are moving!

We have recently acquired the beautiful building, The Old School House in Belper, as our new offices! The Old School House is a perfect fit for our business, and we are very excited about this new chapter!

The building has had many different purposes over the years, starting as a chapel, then a Sunday School, Robey’s Fireplaces, Nonno’s Restaurant, and a pub! We are hoping to give it a new lease of life and turn the building into our new offices, along with extra office space.

We plan to convert the second floor into office space for our business, and the bottom floor into a cosy break-out/interview area. As the business has grown over the past 9 years, we no longer fit our lovely little office, so it will be great to have more space and dedicated areas for various aspects of the business!

Even though we are tight on space at the moment, The Old School House will be a bit too big for just us, so with the extra space we are planning on renting out extra offices.

The Unitarian Chapel was built around 1721. In 1740, galleries were added so it could seat up to 250 people. The chapel was replaced by the Strutt Unitarian Chapel on Field Row in Belper, which led to the chapel on Green Lane being extended and then used for the Sunday School in 1855. We would really like to pay tribute to the building’s history, and we love the fact that it was once used as a school, it couldn’t be more perfect!

More recently, The Old School House was used by Robey’s until they moved just down the road, to Goods Road. Then, Nonno’s, an Italian restaurant, took over the building, until they moved to Strutt Street. Finally, the building was made into a pub in 2021. The building has now been empty for a few years.

We are very excited to renovate this beautiful building and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us all here at Claire’s.
