Walsall Town Hall

Walsall Town Hall is a baroque-style municipal building constructed from sandstone ashlar with a distinctive round archway entrance. The archway is supported by three Tuscan order columns and topped with an architrave featuring a tympanum above.

The building was designed by architect James Glen Sivewright Gibson and opened in 1903 as a municipal structure. It was completed alongside the adjacent Council House and has served the community center since then.

The building displays artwork created by Frank O. Salisbury in 1920 that honors the South Staffordshire Regiments' service in World War I. These paintings form part of the interior that connects the space to the region's military past.

The building regularly serves as a venue for civic ceremonies, wedding receptions, and musical performances. It functions as a central gathering place for community events in the town center.

Inside is a pipe organ installed in 1908 featuring around 98 stops, five keyboards, and about 3,300 pipes. This instrument was created to honor Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and remains a remarkable example of craftsmanship.
