Town Hall

The Town Hall is a three-storey building with cement rendered elevations, a slate roof, tiled cresting, and wide boarded eaves. The front has five windows with architraves and sill bands on the first and second floors, and an entablature band on the ground floor above semi-circular headed windows with stopped labels. The ground floor was originally open arcaded, and these full-height openings (now filled in below the sills) represent the former market's open ground floor. All the windows are T-shaped horned sashes, and there is a six-panel door with a two-pane fanlight in the second bay. A War Memorial plaque is located on the front wall beside the entrance. Sill bands extend around the left gable end facing south, and there is an attic roundel above tripartite windows on the first and second floors, with the first-floor window designed as a Venetian window. The ground floor features smaller openings, including a boarded-up doorway to the left and a window to the right, with the labels on these openings having lost their stops. Slightly set back is a one-bay section with T-shaped casement windows, and the corner is splayed outwards at the second floor, a change made after a fire in 1980. The rear has twin half-hipped roofs.
