Appraisal

Overlooking the Market Square, Hackett's Bookmakers has some notable architectural features. A timber stallriser and console brackets adorn the shopfront, while the upper floors are enhanced by characteristic timber sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hackett's Bookmakers, though a modern commercial venture, retains a smart exterior due to its traditional styled shopfront.
