Talbot Place

Talbot Place is a late Georgian building with a broad two-storey and basement roughcast front, likely originating from the 17th century. It features a tall, steeply pitched slate roof with two rubble chimney stacks, one of which has been heightened in brick, and another that is entirely brick. The front has recessed small-pane sash windows, with 12 panes on the first floor and 16 and 8 panes on the ground floor. There is a panelled door with a pilastered doorcase.

At the rear, there are two cross ranges facing New Road. One range has a hipped roof with paired 12-pane sash windows, while the other has a gabled roof with ornamental bargeboards and a two-storey bay window featuring sash glazing below a similar attic window, all with glazing bars.

Inside, the building retains evidence of its earlier structure, with cross beams visible in most rooms. Although the roof construction has had tie beams and collars removed, it still features an ornate attic doorhead, which is a regional characteristic. There is a narrow passage along the front wall, a fireplace with a large stone lintel that is concealed, and a staircase leading to the rear. Additionally, there are two safes in the former office at the rear, which still have Glanusk name plates inside and were made by Birmingham Safe Co Ltd.
