Description
The Town Hall is a two-storey building featuring a ground floor faced with squared grey limestone arranged in regular courses. There is a band at the first floor level, and the first floor is finished with stucco that mimics ashlar stone. The roof is covered with slate and has close eaves, previously including a central vent.
On the first floor, there are four long sash windows, all adorned with painted keystones. Three of these windows are made up of 40 panes (five panes wide) and are evenly spaced, while the narrow window to the extreme left consists of 24 panes (three panes wide). The windows have slate sills.
The ground floor includes five round-arched openings that are connected by an impost-level string course. The voussoirs are made of cut stone. The central arch is the tallest and widest, featuring raised voussoirs, raised imposts, plinths, and a keystone. It has late 20th-century double plate-glass doors and a fanlight. The flanking arches have been converted into windows with late 19th or 20th-century glazing, which were originally open market entries. The small pane glazing under the fanlights is divided into three sections, with the centre light being tilting. The spacing of the arches is irregular, with a wide pier between the first and second arches on the left, as well as between the entrance arch and the first arch on the right. The first left arch has a window above stone infill, with a chamfered plinth on the right jamb (the left one is obscured). The second arch is taller, with the arch head stilted above the impost string level, and the stonework below the window is original, complete with a plinth. The arches on the right have been infilled below the windows.
Attached to the first floor is an iron plaque featuring the town crest in a roundel, along with the text 'Borough Arms fixed in the Jubilee Year 1887 JW Morison Esqre Mayor'.
At the rear, there is a hipped-roofed parallel range that has late 20th-century glazing. The interior was altered in the late 20th century, with stairs located to the left of the central hall leading up to the first floor. The former market hall at the rear has also been modified. The first floor council chamber features a late 19th-century pine dais.
