Description
The Assembly Rooms, now functioning as a leisure complex, were built around 1840. The building features a stucco exterior over brick and a turnerised slate roof, with a brick stack at the rear. It is two stories high and has a five-window range, with 9/9 sash windows separated by four pilasters that support a protruding frieze. There is a moulded eaves cornice with a raised moulded block above. To the left, there is a shop window beneath a moulded arch, a central entrance with 20th-century double doors, and to the right, two 20th-century plate glass windows under an altered arch. The return on Mill Street has a moulded pediment over a central protruding bay and five 6/6 sash windows on the ground floor. The rear elevation includes various sash windows and blocked openings, a stone storey band on the first floor, and a two-leaf panelled door. The interior was remodelled in the mid-20th century.
