Description
Rooney Adams Antiques is a three-storey building featuring a two-window front made of coursed rubble, topped with a slate roof and a pebbledash stack on the right-hand gable end. The building has 9 and 12 pane sash windows, with slate lintels above the first floor. The Victorian shop front is notable for its fluted fascia end brackets, ramped fascia, bracket cornice, and end pilasters, along with a brick stallriser. To the right, there is an 18 pane shop window, while a window has been inserted into a former central doorway, and there are two doorways to the left, one of which leads to the shop and is designed in a simple Art Nouveau style. There is a later cross range to the left and an oriel window featuring marginal glazing bars.
Inside, the building has beamed ceilings and stone flagged floors. The large cellars contain a former holding cell that was used for the Old Town Hall opposite, with the indented marks of three seats still visible. There is also a segmental arch brick vaulted chamber, which may indicate the end of a former underground passage that connected to the Old Town Hall and Gaol.
