Full Description
{1}Pound.Shown on map of 1760, no longer in existence.
{2}In 1760 on the market place, again at its northern end adjacent to the island of development, was the pound and the well, and the island of development opposite the Hospital including the Pound and Well were cleared away at some time between 1763 and 1830, presumably as part of the early 19th century acts for the improvement of urban settlements. The presumed site of the early Town Hall remained however, the Pound also having been removed to this site, the property only being cleared away in the mid 20th century leaving just the 18th century Town Hall on the market place.
