Description
Nos 12 to 16 on Market Square are a row of buildings dating from the 19th century. The front is made of red bricks, some of which are colour washed, and features a Welsh slated roof. There are 19th century and modern shop bay windows. On the first floor, there are three windows: two are sashes with glazing bars, and one is a late 19th century casement oriel bay. The back elevation, which dates from the 18th century, is constructed of chequered brickwork with red stretchers and grey headers, topped with an old tiled roof. These buildings are included for their group value, as they form a cohesive group with Nos 2 to 20 on the square.
