Date:1935
Description:The original Guildhall was built in 1853. It housed the Borough Council, the courts and on the ground floor was a police station. By the 1930s a new police station was needed and one was constructed on the corner of Bath Street and Albion Place. The Guildhall was demolished in 1934 as part of the Borough Council's plans to improve Market Square. The new Guildhall was rebuilt further back from the square and the market was replaced by a shopping arcade.
