Description
No 29 High Street is a shop and wine bar that was originally built as the Fisher Theatre around 1830 and later became the Town Hall around 1849. The building features a canted facade with one window on each face and stands two storeys tall. Its walls are rendered and include a string course below the first-floor windows, topped with a parapet that has a dentil cornice. The roof is hipped and slated.
The first-floor sash windows have semi-circular heads, wide shouldered architraves with keystones, and small-pane sashes. On the side wall, there are three large segmental-headed windows, also with small-pane sashes and flanked by side-lights. The shop front, which dates from the mid-20th century, includes plate glass windows. Inside, the main room on the first floor retains a heavily moulded ceiling featuring a deep cornice with modillions and two moulded ceiling roses.
