The conservation area is predominantly residential but also contains a high number of commercial properties as well as some large open green spaces to the west end.
The conservation area contains a total of 193 listed buildings and 41 unlisted buildings of local importance. Out of this number 9 are Grade II* listed (Westgate House, The Reading Room, 19 Market Place, Thornton House, The Sycamores, Cromwell's House, The Mansion, a Nineteenth century terrace on Bridge Street and 72-76 Westgate Place.) There is also a single Grade I listed building within the conservation area – St James’ Church (rebuilt mainly in the early C15 and substantially unaltered, except for the tower of about 60 years later and the 2 porches, which date from the 1861-1869 restoration by James Fowler.)
