Description
Owlerton War Memorial Hall is a building of 1925, with later alterations from the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick with terracotta dressings, and has gabled and hipped slate roofs, with a louvred square turret topped with a pyramidal lead roof.
The exterior has a plinth and consists of a single storey with a tower; it has 3 windows by 5 windows in width. The coped main gable has a projecting central bay flanked by panelled pilasters with quoins, containing a segment-arched 4-light cross casement with terracotta mullions. To either side, there is a small plain sash window with a moulded surround and pediment. Above the windows is a raised panel with the name of the building in raised lettering and above that a shouldered gabled pediment.
A single-storey porch has a projecting doorcase with panelled terracotta quoins, a dentilled cornice, and a segmental pediment with a shaped blocking course. It has a moulded and ornamented round-arched doorway with a keystone cartouche and recessed double doors. To the left is a canted corridor with a blocking course and two late 20th-century single light windows with terracotta surrounds.
To the right is a square clock tower, with three stages, angle pilasters, quoins, corner shafts, a plinth, and a moulded coped parapet with corner pedestals and a segmental pediment and keystone on each side. The lower stage has a terracotta relief panel with an inscribed bronze plaque below. The middle stage has a single window on three sides. The upper stage has a recessed panel on each side, with a dentilled head and round shafted blind balustrade below; the front panel has a central clock and the side panels have blank roundels.
The hall has bays divided by recesses housing downpipes, and a stepped terracotta coping. In each bay is a segment-headed 3-light cross casement with double transoms and a terracotta lintel.
The interior was not inspected.
