Numbers 47 (Corn Exchange), 49 And 51

Numbers 47 (Corn Exchange), 49, and 51 are a mid-18th century inn that has been converted into a corn exchange and commercial premises, featuring two shops and a flat. A datestone from 1850 indicates part of the conversion to a Corn Exchange by Mr. Roe. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with 20th-century plain tile and concrete tile roofs. It likely started as an inn with a courtyard and now includes a Corn Exchange Hall, offices, and two attached shops.

The structure is two storeys high with an attic and presents a seven-window range at the first floor, featuring sash windows under stone lintels with keyblocks. To the right, there is a four-window range with unhorned sashes that have glazing bars, while the three windows to the left are plain 19th-century sashes. The central entrance is flanked by Doric pilasters and has a plain entablature with a dentilled cornice above. The entrance to the Corn Exchange on the left has a 19th-century broken pediment with moulded brackets and a central corn sheaf motif. The flanking windows are plain 19th-century sashes under stone lintels with keyblocks.

There is a 19th-century five-light shop front with a recessed four-panel door to the far right and a 20th-century shop window to the left. The building features ashlar gable parapets and kneelers, along with two flat-topped roof dormers on the right range. The roof pitches differ between the right and left ranges, with the left side likely raised during the conversion to the Corn Exchange. A central brick and stone stack is located on the right range, with brick stacks at the ends of the left range. The central entrance has a partially legible inscription and the date 1850 above it, along with a relief corn sheaf and a wooden plough. There is evidence of a former gauged stone head above a carriage arch to the left of the central entrance. The rear elevation includes a short 18th-century wing and two 19th-century ranges, including the hall of the Corn Exchange. Inside, the central entrance leads to a small light well, likely the remains of the original central courtyard area. The Corn Exchange itself is a large 19th-century hall, with a roof structure that was modified in the 20th century. Originally, this building was known as the George Inn.
