Former Mossley Town Hall

The former Mossley Town Hall, originally built as a private house, is a disused building constructed in 1862 by W. Williamson for George Mayall. It is made of ashlar stone and features a slate roof. The building has a large, asymmetrical plan with 8 bays and 2 storeys, designed in an Italianate style. Notable architectural elements include a projecting plinth, a first-floor band, a sill band, an enriched modillion eaves cornice, and rusticated quoins.

Bay 3 is prominent, projecting forward and topped with a gabled open pediment. It features a tripartite window on the ground floor and a first-floor window with an open segmental pediment. The porch in bay 2 also projects and is adorned with semi-circular keystone arches on square piers, banded rustication, small polished granite columns, carved panels, a bracketed cornice, and a pierced parapet with corner urns. Most windows are sashes with moulded surrounds on the ground floor and round heads on the first floor, and none have glazing bars. The building also has grouped chimney stacks with cornices. The sides and rear are designed similarly but are less elaborate.
