Description
Georgie Girl Hair Salon, formerly the Town Hall, is a former town hall that has been converted into business premises. It was built in 1861 and is constructed of ashlar sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. The building is designed in a classical style and consists of two storeys with seven bays. The ground floor is rusticated and features segmental-headed openings, including four-panel doors with three-pane overlights in the end bays, which have alternating jambs and voussoirs and vermiculate rustication. There is an identical door and overlight in the bay to the right of the centre, while the remaining openings contain sash windows. A band and first-floor sill string runs across the building, with sash windows above set in architraves that have panelled aprons and individual cornices. The building is topped with a deep eaves cornice supported by moulded stone brackets, and there is a central feature above the eaves that has a segmental pediment and originally contained a clock face. The roof is low-pitched and hipped.
