The Buttermarket site dates from 1848 and formed part of a larger Borough Market complex between Crown Square and Chapel Place, the principal part of which has been demolished and replaced with the current town hall. The surviving section served as a covered market for the sale of cheese and butter and, above this, there was originally a large assembly room. It has since been a brewery and an education campus building.
It is now a multi-use community hub that houses a community café and a museum, including a heritage printing area that celebrates the importance of the print industry to the town.
