Town Hall, Grade I listed town hall in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England.
The Town Hall is a neoclassical structure with a stone front and clock tower located on Marygate, providing space for civic functions. The ground floor contains a public cafe and market area, while the upper levels serve different purposes for the community.
Samuel and John Worrell designed this building, which was constructed between 1754 and 1761 by local builder Joseph Dodds during the Georgian architectural period. It has shaped the town's character since its completion.
The building serves as a venue for weddings, community events, and local celebrations where people gather for important occasions. The upper floors display exhibitions that tell the story of life in this border town.
Visitors can freely explore the ground floor with its cafe and market area, while tours of the upper floors must be arranged in advance. The building is easy to find, being centrally located on Marygate and visually prominent.
The building houses a museum in former jail cells on the upper floors, revealing its dual past. This conversion was practical since the structure once served both civic and detention purposes.
