Wakefield Town Hall, Grade I listed town hall in Wakefield, England
The town hall features a Gothic design with a symmetrical frontage of three bays, ornate oriel windows, and a 59-meter clock tower.
Construction of the municipal building began in October 1877 under architect Thomas Edward Collcutt, replacing an earlier town hall from 1800.
The council chamber contains a 1946 memorial plaque honoring the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry's right to parade through Wakefield.
Located at Wood Street, the building stands two minutes from Wakefield Westgate train station and provides spaces for conferences and ceremonies.
A tunnel system connects the courtroom and police cells in the basement directly to the adjacent police station.
