GV II
Formerly a cheese market hall, now used as a general market, 1854 (Pevsner) by Charles Meason, with tower added 1871. Red and yellow bricks, stone dressing and metal and glass north light roof. 3-bay front and 15-bay west return. High stone plinth. Yellow brick pilasters, with channel rustication, form the quoins and divide the three arched openings of the facade. These are now bricked up, apart from a small opening in centre bay and wooden shop front in west bay. A moulded band on corbel table supports segmental centre arch with bucranium keystone and semi-circular flanking arches all rusticated in the Gibbs manner. These are surmounted by a bracketted cornice with matching pediment over centre bay. The pediment is flanked by stone coped brick parapet wall, divided into panels by brick pilasters, and surmounted by a red brick clock tower with yellow brick quoins and sunken bands every four courses. Round headed windows to all faces, slate mansard roof with clock faces, in elaborate stone surrounds, and iron cresting to top of roof. West return has large bays to ends and centre and twelve smaller bays between. Similar features to front but with open pediment at centre. Interior of little interest.
