Town Hall

The Town Hall, located in Bexley Square, was built between 1825 and 1827 by Richard Lane. It is an ashlar-faced building, with rusticated stonework to the ground floor, and a low-pitched roof. The building is of Neo-classical style, with a slightly protruding central three-bay section topped with a pediment. Fluted Doric columns and square pilasters support the entablature, featuring a laurel wreath frieze. Similar pilasters are positioned at the corners of the building. The central entrance features doors and an overlight. The windows are two-pane sashes, with the ground-floor windows on either side of the entrance having entablatures supported by console brackets. The rear elevation is symmetrical, featuring gables with open pediments in front of shallow drum towers linked by a part-glazed mansard roof.

An additional range of administrative buildings, dating to circa 1900, adjoins the original block to the west, connected by a single-storey entrance wing. This later addition is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has an overhanging moulded eaves cornice with a Welsh slate roof. The courtyard elevation is five bays wide, divided by brick pilasters, and features a pedimented doorway inscribed "Water Office." Further bays are arranged with four advanced gables with alternately segmental and triangular pediments, each featuring a modillion cornice, along with rusticated brick piers marking the corners, and enriched stone architraves to the windows. A single-storey cross-wing links the addition to the original building, featuring a segmental pediment over the doorway. The long return elevation to Ford Street is divided into bays by brick pilasters, with sash windows and stone architraves, and a heavily segmentally arched doorway within an advanced gable topped with a steep open pediment.

Inside, the central entrance hall houses staircases on either side, leading to a central corridor running the length of the building. The floor and dado tiling is by Craven Dunnill.
