Description

County Hall, built in 1891 by architects Smith and Brodrick, is a three-storey building constructed of red brick with ashlar banding and dressings, topped with a tiled roof. The left side features two elaborately shaped gables and two full-height canted bays, which include mullion and transom windows with leaded lights. Decorative elements include a Flemish Mannerist mask and swags in a terracotta cartouche. The entrance boasts a fine stone doorway with attached columns, intricately carved, and double carved doors. The right side of the building is simpler, featuring additional mullion and transom windows, three gables, and a larger gable with a cross finial. A columned porch with a pediment enhances the overall design.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
