No.15 Market Street

Not as old as it first appears, this was originally Jacobs Bros, general ironmongers, and was built in about 1880. A giant key hanging outside may be the sign of the trade. The strange carved figures were made by Italian craftsmen and it is believed that they have allegorical meanings and relate to Isaac Jacobs' family and their beliefs.
