Court Bench

Likely Scenario

The bench was in place by at least 2009, and probably installed sometime in the early 2000s or late 1990s as part of Church Street’s street furniture improvements after the court stopped functioning as a magistrates’ court. (The magistrates’ court premises were taken over for other municipal uses in the 2010s, but the building and the pavement space have been part of the town centre for many years.)
