Post Office

The building is a former market house, now serving as a Post Office, constructed in 1835 by R Carver. It is made of Doulting stone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof over the central porch, with flat roofs on the sides and an ashlar chimney stack.

The exterior consists of a one-and-a-half storey central section with five bays, flanked by two single-storey four-bay wings that are set back, with the end bays further recessed. The design follows a strict classical style, featuring a plinth, Tuscan pilasters at the ends and corners, and attached Tuscan columns between the bays, which double with pilasters at the outer bays of the central section. The building has a full frieze with metopes, a cornice, and pediments over the outer bays of the central portion, along with plain parapets.

Each bay has semicircular arched openings with side imposts, architraves, and keystones. Most of these openings are now filled with plain windows, except for the extreme left bay, which has a six-panel door, bay five of the central portion that features a pair of doors, bay two of the right wing with another pair of doors, and the extreme right bay that has carriage doors, part glazed. The upper storey has three slim semicircular arched windows in the three middle bays, with matching panels above bays one and five, and a plain parapet.

The rear elevation is rendered and notably plain in comparison. The central hipped roof section has glazing at the ridge, with lean-tos on each side leading down to long flat-roofed wings. The centre block includes nine small arched slit-lights above one and three square lights at the lower level, and on each side, there are two and three-light casements, all barred externally.

The interior has not retained any features of interest on the ground floor. Historically, a photograph from 1902 shows the building with an arcade that was still not enclosed; this was filled with panels and windows the following year.
