Cowbridge Town Hall, Town hall in Cowbridge with Llanblethian, United Kingdom.
The Grade II* listed building features a symmetrical frontage with five bays facing High Street and a two-stage clock tower topped with a cupola.
Built in 1830, the structure replaced an aging guildhall and was converted from a former House of Correction that had served as a local prison.
The Cowbridge Museum, established in the 1980s, displays its collection within six preserved prison cells, showcasing the building's historical transformation.
The town hall functions as the meeting place for Cowbridge with Llanblethian Town Council and contains the town clerk's office and committee rooms.
Inside the mayor's parlour, visitors can observe remnants of an original well that once supplied water to the building's former prison inmates.
