Description

County Hall, built in 1841, is a charming "Neo-Norman fortress" designed by J Plownan. The building features a symmetrical composition with a single storey and a five-bay frontage. The central bay projects forward and includes a castellated porch with turrets above. On either side of the central bay, there are large round-headed sash windows set within "Gothic" surrounds. The front of the building is decorated with mock arrow slits, and the screen walls are castellated, also featuring arrow slits in the end turrets. Additionally, lamp standards in the form of 'fasces' are positioned on either side of the door. The roof is not visible, and the structure is made of stone.
