View film Transcript: Hello, I'm Julia Hughes, I'm the head of Denbigh College which is part of the Llandrillo Learning Network. I've got the picture of the college as it was here and originally it was part of the new borough market in Denbigh, built about 1841. The market extended from Back Row right the way to the college building at the back here. The café area, or the lower floor, was the butter and cheese market and above it was assembly rooms and at the very front of the market in Back Row there was a beautiful carved scroll and town coat of arms and when the market was demolished in 1914 to make way for the new town hall, they actually saved that and preserved it and, if you go to the back of the college by the back doors, the wooden double doors, it's actually on the doorway above the old butter and cheese market. The building has been used for paper storage and salvage and as a brewery since the assembly rooms were also knocked down in 1914, that's the top bit of the building. And, at some point, the building was actually re-modelled and floors put on above the old butter and cheese market. And, if you look carefully at the building now and as it was, there is a very similar shape and look to the building.
