The town centre is largely unspoilt by new buildings > 1768182 and although some of the larger retail companies have moved into the area they have managed to keep its character.

It is used for concerts, meetings and exhibitions. 17th > 1768253 and 18th century cottages can be found at Fair Green, one of the two old town centres, and many of the buildings in the town have tiled roofs.
