Description
12 Market Street, formerly the United Methodist Free Church, is a large classical building constructed in 1858, designed by architect James Simpson of Leeds. The building was sold to the Post Office in 1935 and was converted into a nightclub in the early 21st century.
The structure features a pedimented five-bay front facing Market Street, built from red brick with ashlar quoins and dressings. The facade is adorned with four giant Corinthian order pilasters that support an entablature and the pediment. On the first floor, there are three windows with segmental heads and keystoned architraves, positioned between the pilasters and rising from an impost stringcourse. The ground floor includes a central window with a plain architrave and two doorways with segmental pediments flanking it, although one doorway has been reduced to a window. The south side elevation, which faces Albion Court, consists of six bays featuring tall segmental-headed windows on the first floor, similar to those on the front, and low sash windows with glazing bars below.
