Description
Talbot Community Centre, originally Talbot Tabernacle, is a community centre dating from 1887, designed by Habershon & Fawckner. It was originally a church. The building exhibits a curved Romanesque facade constructed of red brick and terracotta, with a tower featuring a broach spire located to one side. A notable feature is the iron construction within the interior.
