The Market Place is in the centre of town and dominated by the clock tower built by J.T. Turner & Sons in 1899.

There is a market and the W.I. have a market in the O.A.P. Hall (Rumbold Street) on Fridays.

Since the bypass was built, the heavy traffic no longer passes through the town centre. This makes a very pleasant quiet atmosphere.

There is a good range of shops, inns and places to eat.

Half Day closing is on Thursdays.
