Description
The building is a market house, dating from 1755 to 1764. It is now used as shops and a club. Constructed of brick with sandstone dressings, it has a hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. It features chamfered quoins, a decorative band, and a cornice. The ground floor has three round arches connected by an impost band. The outer arches are smaller and now contain windows, each with a keystone. The central arch is wider, serves as an entrance, and has a keystone and alternately projecting voussoirs. The first-floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars, linked by a sill band. The outer windows have stone surrounds, pulvinated friezes, and cornices. The central window has an architrave, pulvinated frieze, and a pediment. A plaque set within an apron commemorates the Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. Above the central bay, set back behind the cornice, is a timber cupola containing a clock. Each return wall has one bay treated similarly to the outer bays of the front facade.
