The Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall is a former town hall that has been converted into a house. It is built from rock-faced squared brown sandstone with tooled dressings and features slate eaves roofs. The building is two storeys high and originally consists of a two-bay structure with a one-bay matching addition on the right. The original building has rendered brick end stacks, while the addition has a hipped roof with a brick stack. The front wall of the addition is slightly set back, creating deeper flat eaves.

On the first floor, there are three horned 16-pane sash windows above three ground floor square windows, which also have 16-pane smaller sashes. All of these windows were renewed in the 20th century. The original block features raised rusticated quoins at the corners and similar window surrounds, with the blocks being rock-faced and having tooled edges. The ground floor windows are adorned with stone voussoirs and large keystones, while the upper windows have voussoirs under the eaves. The building also has stone sills and a raised stone plinth.

The left end wall has similar stone facing and an arched window in the gable, which has a rusticated surround and 20th-century glazing bars. This window is situated above a first-floor porch that is accessed by an external stone stair with simple iron railings. The porch has a paved landing with similar railings, a flat-roofed open design supported by two cast-iron columns, and a six-panel door with a stone slab lintel leading into the former council chamber. At the base of the stairs, facing the road, there is a 20th-century door in a doorway with a single slab lintel.

The rear of the original range is roughly rendered rubble stone and has two ground floor windows. The right end wall of the addition is rendered and features a small 8-pane sash window on the first floor. There is a clear building joint between the original structure and the added section on the left. On the street line, there is a gateway that matches the facade, complete with a board door, a single slab lintel, and battlements.

The interior has been altered for residential use and is not available for inspection. However, in 1975, it still contained a ground floor prison cell that remained largely in its original condition.
