Description
The Town Hall, built in 1878 and later, is designed in the Gothic style. It features red brick with stone dressings. The original section was constructed by Reginald Churchill for Michael Thomas Bass. This part is two storeys high with gables, and each bay includes a three-light window set in a foil-headed stone surround, complete with mullions and a transom. The window lights are topped with foil heads and have quatrefoil panels below. The building is elaborately decorated with bands of blind quatrefoils at the first storey and along the parapet. Coped gables and stone piers with pinnacles support figures of lions holding standards.
The later addition on the left side was built in 1894 and maintains a similar style, featuring a clock tower and a doorway below in a stone surround, along with a wrought iron porte-cochere. This two-storey wing has three bays, each with a three-light stone mullioned window. The central bay projects and has a gable with angled buttresses. An elaborate single-storey wing on the left side houses a concert hall and includes various projecting gabled bays with pointed arched windows and an arched doorway to the right. The roofs are tiled.
