Description
No. 15 Market Place is a pair of shops and offices built around 1880, with alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with stone-coped gables.
The exterior consists of three storeys plus gabled attics, with a five-bay front that has canted ends. A dentilled stone cornice sits above a plain fascia and modern shop fronts, with a string course and a moulded cornice beneath three gablettes. On the first floor, there are three 3-light windows in the centre and single 2-light windows at the canted ends, all featuring stone mullions and surrounds along with a single cross transom at the top. The second floor has a similar window arrangement, set beneath pointed blank arches, with the windows having arched heads and colonettes for the mullions. The gablettes contain 3-light arched windows with colonettes, while all openings have plain sash windows.
The building is located between Dolphin Lane and Bonners Lane and was constructed by Sherwins of Boston as Smalls Emporium. The interior has not been inspected.
