Description
The Old Town Hall, built in 1890 by George Skipper, is a two-storey brick building with a painted front and a tiled roof featuring gabled ends. It is five bays wide, with the center bay projecting and topped by a pediment that includes a tympanum depicting a sailing ship. The building has a moulded eaves cornice adorned with dentils.
On the first floor, there are fluted and rusticated brick pilasters with 2, 3, and 4-light mullion windows, each topped with three-centred arch heads. The ground floor features a central three-centred arch doorway with voussoirs, flanked by small rectangular sash windows that have drip moulds above. Between the first and ground floors, there are rectangular moulded panels displaying shields and a cartouche above the doorway, which bears the inscription "Town Hall 1890." The structure also has moulded string courses and a plinth.
Brick chimney stacks with cornices rise from the gable ends. The south end gable is designed as a pediment, with a chimney breast running through it and two windows on either side that match the design of the front. A long range at the back is constructed of plain brick, featuring buttressed walls and brick dentil eaves.
