6.7.76

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.
