Shire Hall

Shire Hall is a market hall built between 1872 and 1873 by Hadfield and Sons of Sheffield. It is constructed of brick in English bond, featuring ashlar banding and stone dressings, with a roof made of plain and fishscale tiles. The architectural style is reminiscent of Gothic municipal buildings from the Low Countries. The building includes a market hall at the rear right and two shops on the ground floor, with a public hall above.

The structure is two to three storeys high and divided into three sections. To the left is a three-stage tower, the central section has three bays, and the right section is a prominent gabled area. The first floor has six windows. The left side features a 20th-century shop front. The central section includes a single slit window and several decorative ashlar bands. The gabled section has two pointed entrance arches with a central round pier that contains 20th-century board doors, along with a 20th-century shop front beneath a frieze of decorative tile work to the right.

On the first floor, the tower section has a two-light transomed window and a dentilled band. The central section features a long double transomed window to the left and two shorter single transomed windows to the right, which are behind an open-work stone gallery supported by console brackets. There are dentilled and cogged bands at the eaves level above. The gabled section has an empty stone statue niche that once held a statue of medieval chronicler Roger de Hovedon, flanked by three-light double-transomed windows with a stepped continuous hoodmould above. A brick relieving arch is present as well. The massive crow-stepped gable contains a round-arched lancet with an ogee hoodmould and a finial. The tower's third floor features a clock face with three blank shields above it, and the tower has a truncated pyramidal roof. The central and right sections have steeply-pitched roofs, with a tall decorative stack rising through the front pitch of the central section. There are no notable internal features.
