Description

Town halls are a distinctive feature of Britain's urban landscape, embodying power and authority within local society and politics for centuries. This book explores their historical development from early beginnings to the present day, tracing how they reflect the architectural styles of their time.

From classical revival and Gothic styles of the 19th century to art deco and modernist buildings of the mid-20th century, town halls are a fascinating reflection of the periods in which they were built. This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, providing definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past.

With many town halls being repurposed as they become redundant, this book offers a unique insight into these buildings and their continued relevance today.
