4 Market Place

House built around 1780 and converted to a shop around 1820.

MATERIALS: the roof has a pantile covering, and the walls are of painted brick.

PLAN: it is roughly square on plan.

EXTERIOR: 4 Market Place is two storeys high with a single window range and faces north to Lynn Street. Its pitched roof has a pantile covering and is gabled to the east and west. The walls are constructed of red brick and painted, with a dentil eaves course, and an early C19 continuous platband over the ground floor. The ground floor has a late-C20 half-glazed door to the left, and to the right is a bowed early-C19 shop display window of 24 panes, with a moulded and dentilled cornice over. The first floor has a single three-over-six sash window without horns in a flush frame. The west gable end has two windows of different sizes on the ground floor, both three-over-six sash windows without horns; the right window was introduced in the C20. The first floor has a single six-pane window. The rear elevation has a C20 lean-to outshut.

INTERIOR: it is understood that the first-floor north wall retains a painted mural of a landscape, thought to depict potteries and a castle in the background, which was possibly executed in the late C18 or early C19.
