Description
23 Market Place is a building that originally consisted of two houses but has been converted into one shop. The earlier part of the building dates from the early 19th century and was raised in height around 1900, while the later section was built in 1835. The shop front was updated in the late 20th century. The structure is made of gault brick with rusticated brick quoins, and it features a roof covered with black-glazed pantiles that connects with the adjacent building at No. 21, which has a brick stack at the left end.
The exterior is two stories high with a six-window front that has quoining. The left part has a plate-glass shop front, while the first floor features two horned sash windows without glazing bars, set beneath rendered and painted gauged arches. The right part of the building has four unhorned sash windows, each with a 6/6 configuration on both floors, also under rendered and painted gauged arches. There is a clock face on the left part of the building, dated 1977, which commemorates the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
The interior does not contain any notable features.
