Description
No 4, Market Place is an early 19th-century building constructed of red brick. It stands four storeys tall and features three windows, with the centre window on the second floor being blind. The building has a parapet and a heavy moulded cornice, along with a band at the third floor sill level. The windows are sash types with glazing bars, flat brick arches, and sills. There is an entablature above the ground floor that includes triglyphs, and to the right, there is a pilastered doorway with a rectangular fanlight. The ground floor has a large modern shop front with a blind case and fascia that obscures the frieze of the entablature. No 4, along with Nos 6 and 8, forms a group.
