Description
15 Market Street is a mid-19th century, two-storey building with a three-window front. It features regular stonework laid in narrow courses and has a plinth. The roof is moderately pitched and covered with slate, with brick stacks; the stack for No. 15 is merged with the adjoining stack. The eaves are plain.
On the first floor, there are sash windows with sidelights, although these were removed at the time of inspection. The windows have slightly cambered stone voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. There is a similar window on the ground floor to the left.
In the center and to the right, there are reflected pairs of mid-19th century shop fronts. The shop windows in the middle have doors at the outer ends, separated by plain pilasters, and feature simple blind boxes. The shop windows consist of four lights with transoms, and there are half-glazed doors with deep rectangular fanlights. The shop front for No. 16 is modern.
At the time of inspection on 28 July 1988, the building was undergoing restoration.
