Old Town Hall, Bulwell
The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in Bulwell, a town in Nottinghamshire, in England. The building, which is currently used as a furniture showroom on the ground floor and as a concert hall on the first floor, is locally listed. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the brickmaking industry, a local board of health was appointed in Bulwell in the early 1870s. In this context, the new local board of heath decided to commission a town hall. The site they chose on the south side of Highbury Road was adjacent to the River Leen. It appears that some progress was made on the building straight away as the local board of health managed to hold one meeting in the building, before Nottingham Corporation annexed Bulwell on 1 November 1877. However, the new building, which was designed in the Victorian architecture, Victorian style and built in red brick, was not fully completed until 1894.

Old Town Hall, Broughton-in-Furness
The Old Town Hall is a municipal building in The Square, Broughton-in-Furness, a town in Cumbria, England. The building, which currently accommodates a Visitor center, tourist information centre and a shop, is a Grade II listed building.

His vision was to create a square that recalled the great squares of London, and the market hall, on the south side of the proposed square, was the first step in implementing that plan. The scheme was seen as very successful: the architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, has described the square with its trees as "handsome". The building was designed in the Italianate architecture, Italianate style, built in brick with a cement render finish and was completed in 1766. The ...

Old Town Hall, Brading
The Old Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street, Brading, Isle of Wight, England. The structure, which is now used to store and exhibition a collection of artefacts and records, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in red brick and was completed in around 1730.

Old Town Hall, Bosham
The Old Town Hall is a historic building on Shore Road in Bosham, a town in West Sussex, in England. The structure, which has been converted into a private house, is a Grade II listed building. History The current structure consists of several properties overlooking Chichester Harbour, including a couple of workman's cottages and an early town hall, which individually date back to 1694.
