Newport Civic Centre, Art Deco public building in Newport, Wales
The Civic Centre features a symmetrical frontage with 37 bays, a central rounded entrance, and a clock tower built with Portland stone.
Construction started in 1937 when King George VI cut the first sod, but World War II delayed completion until 1964.
The building displays a sculpture titled 'Labour' by David Evans, depicting two miners to represent the regional mining heritage.
Newport Civic Centre operates as the headquarters of Newport City Council, containing courtrooms, a council chamber, and the mayor's parlour.
The interior includes two identical courtrooms with veneered walnut walls and a two-story glazed recessed arch window illuminating the grand staircase.
