Description
The Council Chamber and Assembly Rooms, located at North Street, were built in 1731 and designed by architect Roger Morris. This building is constructed of red brick and extends over the pavement on an arcade. It features four stone Ionic columns that support an entablature and a solid parapet, which includes an inscribed tablet and a figure of a lion above. In the center, there is a large round-headed window, flanked by one plain sash window on each side, with empty niches for statues beyond. An addition to the south was made in 1880. Additionally, a stone from Pudens, dated 1783, is embedded in the wall beneath the arcade. The Assembly Rooms located behind the Council Chamber were completed in 1783, designed by James Wyatt.
