Market Tavern Hotel

The Market Tavern Hotel is a three-storey building with an attic, constructed from white brick featuring red-brick dressings, freestone lintels, sills, and cornices, along with sash windows. The roof is covered with slate. The front of the building is faceted and consists of three unequal bays. The left-hand bay, located in the left facet, has triple windows on both the middle and upper storeys, while the centre and right-hand bays in the right facet have double windows. The middle storey windows are lintelled, and the upper storey windows are round-headed with a moulded stone impost band extending above them. A moulded cornice and a moulded band separate the middle and upper storeys. Each facet features an attic dormer that is pedimented with pilasters and includes an oval window. There is a replaced door on the right side of the lower storey. Although the original front has been largely replaced, remnants of the original design remain, including pilasters and end consoles of the fascia. To the left, there is a single-bay splayed angle that contains a replaced door in the lower storey.

The left side elevation faces a passage leading to the Market Hall. In the lower storey, the fascia and pilasters of the shop front continue for one narrow bay. Further to the left is a single blind bay beneath an entablature in the lower storey, with paired sash windows above that are narrower and simpler than those on the front. Continuing left, there is a lower two-storey rear wing with two gabled bays. The lower storey features modern shop fronts, including a side entrance to the hotel in the right-hand bay and Nu-Life shoe repairs in the left-hand bay. In the upper storey, each bay has a pair of round-headed sash windows and a small round-headed gable window.
