General notes

Fishstones, 1829, replacing an earlier set, are Grade II Listed. Flat slabs of sandstone set on stone uprights to form two semi-circular counters from which fish was sold on market days. In the middle stands a cast-iron lamp standard, originally placed there in 1872 at the expense of Thomas Langton Birley, subsequently removed and then replaced in 1982. It has a tall richly decorated base, a fluted shaft once supporting a central lamp and three brackets, perhaps for peripheral lamps; only the central lamp is now present.
