Town Hall

The Town Hall, built in 1900 by Briggs and Wolstenholme, is a Grade II listed building located in Town Fall Square, Great Harwood. It is constructed of ashlar and features a hipped slate roof with two ridge chimneys and two additional chimneys at the rear. The building has a rectangular plan with five by four bays and stands two and a half storeys tall in a free Baroque style.

The design is symmetrical, with slightly projecting gabled wings and a three-bay centre. It includes a plinth, a string course, a first-floor sill band, and a moulded cornice that extends across the face of the gables. The central doorway is framed by a Gibbs surround and a segmental pediment that rises from the string course. On either side of the door are pairs of sashed windows with coupled Gibbs surrounds, while the wings feature stilted lunettes with tripartite sashed windows.

On the first floor, there are coupled windows in the centre and triple windows in the wings, all adorned with Gibbs surrounds and cornices. Each wing has corbelled polygonal corners at the first floor, which continue above the cornice as turrets topped with ball finials, flanking a finialled gable that contains a bullseye with an archivolt. The right return wall is styled similarly, and the left end connects at the first floor to an adjoining bank through a matching arch with a finial.
