Market Place paving and two sets of iron railings

The Market Place features granite setts that were laid out between 1855 and 1856, with two sets of decorative iron railings added later in the 19th century. The Market Place is approximately rectangular, covering an area of around 2000 square meters. In the north-western quarter, the iron railings enclose the steps leading down to underground lavatories, which are not included in the listing.

The exterior of the Market Place is paved with granite setts, although two areas along the western side, totaling about 220 square meters, have either been replaced or covered with asphalt; one of these areas has been laid to provide a hardstanding for a large rubbish compactor. At the center of the Market Place stands the Grade II listed granite base of a mid-19th century fountain.

The iron railings feature plain verticals topped with fleur-de-lys finials and a frieze of quatrefoils. The corner posts and those placed midway along the railings have square bases, circular shafts, and shaped finials. The gate on the north railings is original, while the gate on the south railings is a 20th-century replacement.
