Listed Building record MDO11376 - 9 Market Place, Blandford Forum

Late eighteenth century corner house facing Salisbury Street with a red brick front, interesting eighteenth century shop under slate penthouse. On the Market Place side there are four round-headed shop windows and a doorway with lead fanlights.

(ST 88450630) No. 9 at the corner of Salisbury Street, is of two storeys with cellars and attics and was built probably in the late 18th century. The shop-front seems to be original and consists of six sturdy plaster-faced piers, rectangular in plan, standing on a low brick plinth and supporting, at first-floor level, a wide coved pentice which continues on the W. front, in Salisbury Street. The round-headed shop-window openings are traversed by horizontal architraves enriched with reeding and paterae, above which are beaded fanlights. The upper storey has two sashed windows with segmental rubbed brick arches; the wall is capped by a simple dentil cornice. The W. front is similar; it has one window on the first floor, and three shop windows below. <1>
