53, 55 and 57 Market Place

53, 55 and 57 Market Place is a former town house built in the mid-19th century. It was remodeled around 1912 into a pair of shops with living accommodation above, featuring late-20th century and early-21st century shopfronts.

The building is constructed of colourwashed and rendered brick, scored to imitate ashlar, with brick stacks and a roof covered in black-glazed pantiles.

The Market Place elevation has three storeys and is divided into three bays. On the ground floor, from right to left, there is an early-21st century shopfront for number 53 and a late-20th century shopfront for number 55, both featuring plate glass windows and half-glazed doors. To the right, there is a half-glazed door with two lights leading to the upper-storey living accommodation (number 57), framed by a pilastered surround with corbels, a plain fascia, and a deep fanlight. The first and second floors are illuminated by two-over-two horned sash windows, with the first-floor windows being taller and having lintels with painted keystones. Above these, there is an overhanging dentilled eaves cornice. The roof is gabled and has stacks at both the east and west ends, with the western stack rebuilt in the 20th century.
