Description
The Town Hall in Egremont was built between 1889 and 1890 and is constructed from snecked rubble with quoins on a chamfered plinth, featuring a string course between the floors. The building has graduated slate roofs with stone copings, kneelers, and finials on the gables, along with a corniced stone chimney at the north end.
It has a symmetrical two-storey elevation with a five-stage tower, arranged in a 2:1:2 bay configuration. The ground floor of the central tower features a panelled door with a fanlight, set within a four-centred door surround, and is topped by a cast-iron lamp bracket. The tower includes segment-headed openings and a clock at the top stage. The pyramidal roof is adorned with gablets on each side and a weathervane at the peak.
On either side of the tower, the sashes in the bays have triangular-headed surrounds on the ground floor and segment-headed surrounds on the first floor, with a louvre above in the gable. The south return has three sashes on each floor, all set within segment-headed surrounds.
