Description
Jubilee Hall is a former market hall dating to 1897-1903, originally built as the Foreign Flower Market by James Cubitt. Constructed of red brick with stone dressings, it features glazed and slated roofs and is designed in an Edwardian "Wrenaissance"-Baroque style. The building is two storeys high with an open ground floor loggia and a first-floor double hall.
The facades are symmetrical, with corner pavilions on the east and west fronts, each comprising three major bays, and longer north and south facades of four major bays. The main entrance is located on the east side, between Tuscan loggia columns, with a Venetian window above. The west end is similarly designed. The north and south long fronts have Tuscan piers to the loggia and clerestory windows arranged as four pairs of sash windows, demarcated by Tuscan pilasters and with coupled engaged Tuscan columns between them. A deep band of brickwork sits between the loggia and clerestory, featuring a centrally placed Coat of Arms. An entablature and balustraded parapet top the facade.
The corner pavilions incorporate rusticated quoin pilasters, with entrances to the first-floor hall via wide gabled doorways featuring block dressings and keys. First-floor sash windows and lunettes are set within the open pediments crowning each face, and the parapets have urn finials. The pavilions are topped by domed cupolas.
The interior includes a grand double staircase leading to the first-floor halls, approached via vaulted porticoes in the eastern entrance pavilions. The first-floor halls feature pilasters dividing the clerestories and glazed roof lights over cast iron trusses. Doorways have voussoir blocked and keystoned heads.
