Description
The building is a market hall, subsequently used as a bank, shops, and offices, constructed in 1848 by Reed of Liverpool. It was extended between 1868 and 1872, and altered and partly rebuilt in the 20th century. Built of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and hipped slate roofs, the rectangular building is set on a north-south axis. Original entrances were located on the east and west sides, although the eastern entrance is now obscured by an annex and the western entrance has been replaced by a clock tower incorporated into the building's main range.
The principal facades have arcades of round-headed arches with imposts and triple keystones. The northern arches on both sides have been filled with glazed shop fronts, while those to the south of the center are blank arches containing inserted windows – the east side being entirely rebuilt in a simpler style. The original entrance archway on the west side is now visible within No.7. The north and south ends feature arcades, set within a raised surround of rusticated sandstone ashlar, featuring Tuscan columns distyle in antis, vermiculated bands, rock-faced keystones, and a pulvinated rock-faced frieze.
The east-facing clock tower, in an Italianate style, has rusticated quoins, string courses, bracketed eaves, and a pyramidal roof topped with an octagonal bellcote with an ogival cap. A tall round-headed archway at ground level has heavily banded columns and pilasters forming the corners of the tower and bears the inscription "MUSGRAVE & CO 1848 BOLTON" within the keystone. The first floor has large, arcaded three-light windows with carved imposts, moulded heads, keystones, and sash glazing with margin panes. Clock faces are located on the second floor. The west-facing annex is square, two-storied, with rusticated quoins, a first-floor sill band, a plain frieze, a moulded cornice, and a pyramidal roof. The ground floor has a modified shop front, and each side of the first floor has a round-headed window.
The interior has been altered.
