Completed in 1839 to the design of William Booth, the New Market House stands directly opposite the Old Market House. This three-storey building is 11 bays long, the central three bays break forward and are topped by a pediment. The large central archway rises through two storeys and is flanked by small rectangular doorways at the ground floor. At the first floor the archway is flanked by small circular windows and the small windows at the top storey flank a large un-inscribed panel. This fine old building on the main street is being restored. Shops are being provided on the ground floor and accommodation on the second and third floors. There is an enclosed courtyard at the rear with more accommodation.
