Description:This building on Market Square housed Elliot and Co. Gents Outfitters until c.1900, when it became Boots the Chemist.

In the 1960s the building, along with the timber framed building on the left known as Averil's Old Shop, was demolished. A modern structure, still housing Boots, now stands on the site.
