Chorley Town Hall
Chorley Town Hall is a municipal building in Market Street in Chorley, Lancashire, England. History The first town hall, which was commissioned by a local mercer and philanthropist, John Hollinshead of Hollinshead Hall, was built on the east side of Market Street and completed in 1802. It accommodated the local public offices as well as the local lock-up. After the first town hall became too cramped, civic leaders decided to procure a new town hall: the site they selected on the west side of Market Street had been occupied by the Gillibrand Arms Public House. The new building, which was designed in the Italianate style by John Ladds and William Henry Powell, was completed in 1879. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Market Street with the end bays slightly projected forward; the central section, which also slightly projected forward, featured a doorway on the ground floor with brackets supporting a pediment containing a carved tympa ...

Cleckheaton Town Hall
Cleckheaton Town Hall is a municipal building in Bradford Road, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, England. The town hall, which was the headquarters of Spenborough Urban District Council, is a Grade II listed building. History After significant population growth in the second half of the 19th century, particularly associated with carding (disentangling fibres) for the textile industry, civic leaders decided to procure a town hall to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria: the site they selected had been occupied by a school and some residential properties on the north side of Church Street. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by William Anderton of Elm Bank on 21 June 1890. It was designed by Mawson & Hudson of Bradford in the Queen Anne style and was built at a cost of £13,900, which was financed, in part, by public subscription. It was officially opened by the Chairman of the Town Hall Committee, Joseph Law, on 10 February 1892. A plaque was subsequently p ...
