Appraisal
Prosperous Parish Hall is a small-scale building that forms a subtle feature on the streetscape of the village - the building is distinguished amongst its neighbours by being gable-fronted, although its asymmetrical appearance suggests that it is the result of an amalgamation of buildings. The building also continues the established low-lying roofline quality of the remainder of the terraced buildings to north-west, although it is somewhat dwarfed by the further taller buildings to south-east. Of social and historic interest due to its use as a public building in the locality, the building retains some of its original character.
