Warrington Town Hall, Grade I listed town hall in Warrington, England
Warrington Town Hall is a Georgian building with a symmetrical facade of nine bays, rusticated ashlar walls, and two flanking service wings set at right angles. The structure contains council chambers, administrative offices, and richly decorated interior spaces with period furnishings.
Originally called Bank Hall, the building was commissioned in 1750 by merchant Thomas Patten and designed by architect James Gibbs. It later became Warrington's administrative center over the course of the 19th century.
The entrance hall displays family coats of arms and stone fireplace surrounds, with a mosaic floor laid by Italian craftspeople in 1902.
The building is located on Sankey Street, WA1 1UH, and serves as the city's administrative hub. Visitors should expect modern security procedures that may limit access to certain areas.
The cast iron park gates were originally created as a gift for Queen Victoria before being donated to Warrington Borough Council. These gates rank among the finest examples of Victorian ironwork craftsmanship.
