Description

The Guild Hall is an 18th-century building that was refronted in the early 19th century. It is two storeys tall and constructed of red brick, topped with a tiled roof featuring coved painted eaves cornice. A painted stringcourse runs along the facade. The front has five sash windows with intact glazing bars. The ground floor features six brick arches, which are flanked by pilasters with painted imposts. These arches contain three windows and three doorways: one round-headed doorway with panelled double doors that are now partly glazed, and two doorways with segmental-headed fanlights. Nos 7 to 17 (odd) form a group with this building.
