The Talbot Institute

The Talbot Institute is a meeting hall built of rock-faced squared rubble with stone dressings and a slate roof. It features a gabled front elevation facing the street, with a central doorway. The quoins are detailed with arris staff rolls and a capital band, from which a voussoired arch with a moulded hood springs. Later doors have been inserted under a cambered tympanum. There is one paned timber window on each side of the doorway, which are also quoined and have a label drip mould that is slightly cambered at the center. Above the door, there is a similar paned window and a keyed oculus in the gable head. The gable is adorned with cusped timber bargeboards and an iron finial. The side walls are pebbledashed and contain five brick-dressed windows and end doors on each side, with the windows being 4-paned and featuring top hung vents.

Inside, the hall consists of six bays, with open trusses and a boarded ceiling.
