19 Market Place

Two shops (now combined) with accommodation above, early- to mid-C19 with C20 alterations.

MATERIALS: fair-faced red brick, painted stone and stucco dressings, timber windows, slate roof.

PLAN: corner building with rounded and recessed north-west angle, and rear ranges.

EXTERIOR: prominently sited on the corner of Market Place with New Lane, and of three storeys in Flemish Bond brickwork, with two bays to each street and a recessed and rounded corner bay, all beneath a moulded timber eaves cornice with cast-iron rainwater goods. All windows have painted wedge lintels and stone sills (to the first floor, forming part of a sill band). The north facade has a late-C20 shop front in C19 style, with two windows to each floor above, stacked; these are unhorned 16-pane sashes. The roof is hipped with a prominent brick chimney stack at either end of the ridge.

The corner bay has header-bond brick above the entrance, and a curved window to each floor above (these are 12-pane sash windows, with horns).

The west facade is also of two bays, but asymmetrical, with a window to each floor towards the left of each bay (all unhorned 16-pane sashes). The ground floor has a shopfront only in the left bay; beneath the windows to the right is a doorway with a plain frame and a flat hood on cut brackets, housing a door with six fielded panels and a rectangular fanlight over.
