It was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room, for the use of the borough council, on the first floor. There was a wide central opening, with a stone surround and a keystone, flanked by two smaller openings in the same style. On the first floor, there was a central sash window with an architrave, a frieze and a pediment, while the outer bays were fenestrated by sash windows with architraves, friezes and cornices.
