Description
2 and 4 High Street is a former corn exchange, now used as offices. It was built in 1857 and converted for commercial use after 1889, becoming shops and offices in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with gault brick dressings and features a slate roof with a gable end brick stack.
The exterior is two stories high with a three-bay gabled front facing the street, and to the left, there is a lower two-story, three-bay extension. The gabled front includes a false external stack with weathering in the center. On the ground floor, there are three round-arched casement windows with radial glazing at the top, with the center window piercing the chimney stack. The first floor has two 4/4 unhorned sash windows.
The right return has four bays, featuring casements on the ground floor and two 4/4 unhorned sashes on the first floor. The extension to the left is highlighted on the ground floor by Doric pilasters that support a modest entablature, framing 20th-century plate-glass display windows. The first floor of the extension has two tripartite horned sashes beneath cambered gauged skewback arches. The building is finished with a modillion eaves cornice and a small central pediment inscribed with "Corn Exchange." The interior has not been inspected.
