Market Street : Fine house, Number 22
It is easy to forget that Market Street once included a number of private dwellings, several of which were of considerable status. This example was located at number 22. Stone-fronted and having three bays, it boasted a classical entrance with a tiangular pedimente over a doorway supported by columns and the tall windows add to the impression of local grandeur. In 1960, when this image was taken, it was used as the offices by the Union of Distributive and Allied Workers (and then by the BBCS optical department.
