Town Hall

The Town Hall, now serving as Borough offices, was built between 1907 and 1908 by architects E.F.W. Liddle and P.L. Brown for the Borough of Wallsend. It is designed in a Baroque style, constructed of bright red brick with an ashlar plinth and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring a copper corner turret roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of 11 bays, with the two bays on the right set back and two curved corner bays.

On the left side, one-bay pavilions flank a seven-bay section, which has a pedimented central bay. This central bay features a recessed round-headed double door and a balustraded balcony above, which is located under a tripartite window with a segmental arch and a tall double keystone. The borough arms are displayed in a panel above the door. The ground floor has round-headed mullioned and transomed windows, while the first floor features paired sash windows within architraves, supported by an Ionic Order and a balustraded parapet.

The flanking pavilions have similar ground-floor windows, with segmental-headed single sash windows on the first floor, each under a broken segmental pediment on brick pilasters. The two bays set back on the right have sash windows, and the two curved corner bays support a two-stage round turret with eight openings, an entablature on each stage, and a dome. A bracketed clock is positioned in the right pavilion. Additionally, there is a nine-bay return to Lawson Street, designed in a similar style.
