Entrance range of Conwy Public Library

A Gothic style 2-storey entrance range of the former town hall, of snecked rubble with freestone dressings and quoins, with a swept steep hipped slate roof on a moulded stone cornice, and with prominent ironwork cresting. The Castle Street elevation has angle buttresses in the lower storey. The entrance is a wide pointed arch with hood mould, into which have been inserted modern glazed doors and panels. To its R is a 2-light mullioned window with round-headed lights, and to the L a similar but single-light window. In the upper storey a 5-light mullioned and transomed window also has round-headed lights, the central of which is raised, under a hood mould. A central coped dormer has a boarded-up round window. A 1st-floor square corner turret is corbelled out on a freestone arcaded frieze, with additional corbels at the angles below a string course continuous with the eaves cornice of the main building. It has narrow louvres under a steep swept pyramidal roof. It has a string course carried over the adjacent window in the Castle Street elevation as a hood mould. The High Street elevation has a 1-light window in the lower storey, 2 similar 1st-floor windows and a larger 2-light mullioned window upper L. An angle buttress to the L is beneath a corbelled former 1st-floor stack reduced to eaves level. Further behind is a 6-bay range that survives in its original form in the lower storey, above which is a concrete upper storey.

The entrance hall has 2 double-chamfer arches, between which are joist-beam ceilings with ovolo-moulded cross beams. Otherwise modernised.
