Leigh Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Leigh, Greater Manchester, England
The three-story municipal building features eight symmetrical bays with flat pilasters rising from ground to roof, constructed with Darley Dale sandstone ashlar materials.
The town hall opened in 1907 after construction began in 1904, replacing an earlier structure on King Street that had served as a police station.
The council chamber contains stained glass windows by H. Gustave Hiller depicting local industries and incorporates regional coats of arms in the staircase windows.
Located at Civic Square junction with Market Street, the building includes ground floor shops and serves as a venue for civic ceremonies and public meetings.
An octagonal turret marks one corner of the building while a belvedere and ornamental cupola crown the steeply pitched Westmorland green slate roof.
