Description

No. 34 Market Place is a shop with offices above, built in 1905 by Heaton, Ralph and Heaton. It is designed in a 16th-century vernacular style and is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings and some timber framing, topped with a red tiled roof. The building has a narrow rectangular plan that runs at right angles to the street, featuring a long back extension.

The structure is three storeys tall and consists of one bay. The ground floor has an altered shop front. The first floor features an arcaded window with three elliptical-headed lights and a blocked colonnette surround. The second floor showcases slightly-jettied ornamental timber framing that closely resembles the adjacent buildings at Nos 26 to 32. This floor includes a 10-light oriel window with Art Nouveau leaded glazing, a jettied gable with a brattished jetty bressumer inscribed with "1905", and oversailing bargeboarded verges topped with a finial.

The building is part of a group with the adjacent Nos 26 to 32 on the left and Nos 36 and 38 on the right, all of which are part of the same architectural scheme. The interior has not been inspected.
