Description
No. 4 Market Place is a shop built around 1818 for Edward Burton, with possible later alterations in the 19th century. The building features a banded design on the first floor, while the second and third floors have incised stucco decorated with panelled pilasters. It has a moulded cast-iron gutter and a graduated slate roof with rendered, corniced chimneys at each end. The structure is symmetrical, standing four storeys high and consisting of a single bay. The 19th-century shop front includes a recessed, part-glazed door situated between curved plate glass windows, all framed by a pilastered surround topped with a dentilled cornice. Each upper floor has a single sash window with glazing bars set in an architrave. The first floor features a bracketed pediment, the second has a segmental pediment, and the third floor includes an apron with a patera on either side above.
