In the High Street next to the bridge over the railway, Pevsner and O'Brien note this as "Italianate, single-storey with four round arches. All in brick, the ends with channelled rustication and a bracketed cornice along the top." A plaque placed by the Biggleswade History Society in 2003 tells us that: "Fredrick [sic] Hooper, solicitor and registrar, opened the building circa 1861 for use as a County Court for civil cases and offices for his solicitor's practice next door at Brigham House. Customs & Excise later used the building before it became the Job Centre. The building is now a private house." See Image
