Description
The Old Town Hall, built between 1798 and 1800, is a public building located at No 5 Crown Court, which includes No 16 King Street. This two-storey structure features a basement and has seven bays with tall proportions, finished in stucco. It has a low-pitched swept roof made of Welsh slate, with stuccoed end chimneys. The first floor has round arched openings, with the center one being larger, and all have cill and impost bands. The ground floor windows are near-flat arches, and all windows are sashes with glazing bars, featuring radial heads on the first floor. Access to the building is via three stone steps leading to a four-panel door, which has a tall, oblong fanlight above it. The doorcase has been altered and features a flat surround with a cornice. The words "TOWN HALL" are inscribed on the blocking course. To the left of the door, there are wrought iron area railings with spike standards and urn finials.
