Rochdale Town Hall, Gothic Revival town hall in Rochdale, England.

The stone building features a clock tower, three floors, numerous arched windows, and detailed carvings throughout its 80 by 37-meter structure.

Construction of the town hall commenced in 1866 under architect William Henry Crossland's direction and reached completion in 1871 at a cost of 160,000 pounds.

The grand hall and council chambers host municipal ceremonies, formal gatherings, and community events that bring local residents together throughout the year.

The Grade I listed municipal building continues to function as the administrative center for the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale's government operations.

Adolf Hitler expressed interest in relocating the entire structure brick by brick to Germany, due to his appreciation of its architectural design.
