Town Hall

The Town Hall is a tall, two-storey civic building designed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is constructed from rock-faced limestone masonry and features a modern slate roof with stone copings and decorative terracotta ridge tiles. The main entrance block is located to the north and includes a central entrance flanked by two gabled returns, with a long, six-window range extending to the rear.

The principal elevation facing north showcases a three-bay Gothic facade, highlighted by an advanced gabled centre bay that contains the main entrance set within a deeply recessed, shallow segmental-headed archway. Above the entrance is a balcony supported by curved brackets and featuring a pierced parapet. The first floor has a four-light plate traceried window with oculi grouped under an arched head, flanked by finials with detached shafts that support a triangular hoodmould. Above this, there is an arched recess that once held a clock face, now removed, within the gable pediment, which is adorned with flanking corbelled turrets and a shaped finial at the apex.

The flanking bays on the ground floor have segmental-headed windows, while the first floor features transomed and mullioned three-light windows with hoodmoulds and a continuous sill band, with additional bands between the floors and above the first-floor windows. To the west, there is a shorter, two-storey extension that has similarly styled two-light first-floor windows (without hoodmoulds) and a square-headed doorway on the ground floor.

The eastern gabled return includes two first-floor plate-traceried windows with three lights and single quatrefoils above, along with three narrow ventilation slits positioned in the gable apex. The ground floor windows along the entire eastern elevation are detailed similarly to those of the flanking bays on the front. The first floor of the rear range features two-light transomed and mullioned windows, interspersed with plate traceried two-light Gothic windows in gables that break the skyline. The southern elevation at the rear has similarly detailed first-floor windows (some single lights), a blocked ground floor doorway, and a circular ventilation grille in the gable apex.
