More about this scene
We are looking westwards; the building on the right was originally the Town Hall. Built on the Market Place, it was erected by public subscription in 1827 as an arcaded corn exchange with meeting rooms above. The enterprise failed, and the building was soon sold as shops. Stallabrass the butcher was an early tenant, and in the 1920s it was taken by Home and Colonial Stores. Today it is home to a car spares business and an estate agent. On the left is Woollatt & Coggin's chemist's shop. This has been a pharmacy since the mid 1700s, when it closed as a public house. It seems that it was originally run by Samuel Parkes Woollatt, who was joined by Coggin to form the partnership.
