The Old Market Hall on its site behind the High Street. It was erected in 1804 after the original hall was removed from the centre of the High Street. By the 1860s it had deteriorated because of disuse into this dilapidated state and was photographed by Mr J. Croft in 1868 shortly before it was demolished. The site today is occupied by the brick built town hall which replaced it and which is now used as an office. |
