The building, also known as Waterloo House, is listed grade 2* (list entry 1375290) where it is described as the "north-east range of [a] cloth hall with assembly rooms over, now shopping arcade". It opened in 1777, altered c1865 and c1920. This long side facing Assembly Street was once even longer, having been shortened when the railway viaduct was built.
