Description

No. 11 Market Place is a former co-operative store, now a restaurant, built around 1870. The building features scored stucco with limestone quoins and has a graduated slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and has a three-by-three bay layout. The structure includes a plinth and rock-faced quoins. The central doorway is adorned with an overlight and wooden pilasters, while the outer bays contain 20th-century eight-pane casements set in shallow recesses. The angled corner on the right has a window where a former door used to be. A continuous wooden fascia with a cornice runs along the top.

On the first floor, there is a sill band supporting four-pane sashes in raised surrounds, and on the second floor, short four-pane sashes have projecting sills. A string course and bracketed eaves overhang a former pediment above the central bay. The hipped roof features corniced limestone end stacks. On the right return, the fascia continues over the first bay casement. The upper floors mirror the front, except for the second floor where the first bay window is infilled, and the pediment matches that of the front. The building occupies a prominent location within Market Place, and original shop windows can be seen in various early 20th-century photographs.
