Description
23, 27 and 29 Market Place are early 18th-century buildings located on the south side of Market Place. Number 23 is part of the same structure as Number 21 and features red and grey brick with a shaped, bracketed eaves cornice. It has an old tiled roof with two flat-topped dormers, two storeys and an attic, and three windows with cased sashes. The ground floor has a shop front that was altered in the 19th century, although some vertical glazing bars remain.
Numbers 27 and 29 consist of two buildings. The western building forms the other half of the structure of the present Number 31 and has an early 19th-century facade. The eastern bay has a rendered facade and a slate-hung side wall, with a slate hipped roof. It features one window on the top floor with a casement, and on the first floor, there is a sash window with glazing bars and an architrave surround. The western bay is made of red brick with grey brick panels and has a hipped slate roof with one window. Both buildings have early 19th-century sashes with glazing bars and a 19th-century shop front that extends across the width of the ground floor.
These buildings are listed for their group value, along with Nos 5 to 31 (odd) and the Town Hall, which are associated with other nearby structures.
