Market Square


1902: Edward VII’s car approaches Market Square from Potter Street



Smith’s wine store shared this building with the post office, its rather grand public entrance visible on the right of the picture


These two pictures show the same building. It was originally a pub serving as a beer outlet for McMullens Brewery, and unique in the fact that it only opened for business on a Thursday – market day. Later, a third storey and attic room was added to give us the building we see now. The lamp light clearly seen positioned at the corner of the original building, is now placed between the two windows on the second floor of today’s building.


The Plume of Feathers Inn, first recorded in 1679, traded continually until 1960 when Joscelyne’s took possession to enlarge their store. Alterations made to the outer wall included large shop windows and the creation of a narrow colonnade along the pavement in Potter Street.


Clement Joscelyne bought this house in 1879 and transformed it into his furniture store.
