Kidwelly Town Hall

Kidwelly Town Hall is a Gothic-style building constructed in 1877, featuring squared rock-faced rubble stone with Bath stone dressings and a slate roof. The two-storey main range has four windows and is gable-fronted to Lady Street, with a three-storey entrance tower to the left. The northern gable is coped and shouldered, showcasing a prominent Gothic feature on the first floor, which consists of a triplet of long two-light timber windows with pointed ashlar-panelled heads, all beneath a large ashlar flush arch that includes a plate-traceried roundel and two double flush bands in the rock-faced stonework.

Between the floors, there is a double band with a plaque, while the ground floor features three large pointed windows with linked hoodmoulds and 20th-century glazing, all with deeply splayed sills. The double flush ashlar bands are present at both sill and impost levels, extending around to the Causeway Street side, where there are four large square upper windows (boarded over in 1996) and four ground floor openings, including one pointed arch to the left and a grouping of arches to the right, which includes a pointed arch, a round arch, and a grouped arch. The surrounds are chamfered, with hoodmoulds and 20th-century window glazing; the second pointed arch was originally a door.

The northeast tower is set back and canted from the main gable line, presenting as a severe square block with a double band over the ground floor, a sill band at the second floor, and an ashlar Gothic-panelled parapet. The ground floor has a pointed arched doorway with a hoodmould, while the first floor features a triple window and the second floor has a paired window, all with pointed ashlar-panelled heads and roundels. There is some flush ashlar banding, and a plaque in a double band reads 'Anno Domini 1877'. The southern end wall is plain with a red brick stack, and the eastern side is obscured by the tower, with an outshut roof. On the eastern roof slope, there are two half-hipped vents with timber quatrefoil tracery. The interior has not been inspected.
