Summary

Nos 3 and 5 Old Market Place form a single two storey red brick building with low-pitched slate hipped roof and dating to the early 19th century. There is a large early to mid-19th-century shop with fluted narrow pilasters, entablature with cornice, and a central entrance. To the right, there is a doorway in a round-headed recess, with a semi-circular fanlight with radial bars and panelled door. A shop window has been inserted into the side elevation in Green Dragon Alley, as has a good Regency style doorcase presumably brought from elsewhere.

Historic England Listing Description (S1) is a little misleading; building is in two sections, north section of east façade has round-arched door with fanlight, ground floor window, two windows above; south section projects forward with pilaster at each end; three first floor windows with flat arches (centre is blind), ground floor has large shop front with pilasters, central door and entablature. Not mentioned in (S1) is side elevation in Green Dragon Alley (to south) which has single storey outshut with former stable door; to right of latter a shop window has been inserted and a good Regency style doorcase presumably brought from elsewhere; two tall windows inserted into north wall of this projection.

Due to erroneous grid references recorded in (S1) this record previously contained some details relating to the building on the opposite site of Green Dragon Lane (Post Office; NHER 48559).
