Leicester Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Leicester, England
The Leicester Town Hall features a 44-meter clock tower with five bells and exhibits architectural elements constructed with Ketton stone throughout its structure.
The construction of Leicester Town Hall was completed in 1876, replacing the Guildhall as the primary meeting venue for the city council.
The interior of the town hall contains notable artworks, including The Ferry by Charles James Adams and a scene of the Mosque of Omar by John Fulleylove.
The Council chamber accommodates 180 people and includes modern amenities such as wireless conferencing microphones, projectors, and wall speakers for various events.
During World War II, a German bomb penetrated multiple floors of the building down to the basement without exploding on November 19, 1940.
