Town Hall, Municipal building at St Owen Street in Hereford, England.
Hereford Town Hall is a municipal building on St Owen Street designed with Edwardian Baroque architecture and distinctive terracotta facings. Seven ornamental windows frame the central arched entrance, giving the structure both dignity and visual appeal.
The original Tudor-style Market Hall from 1620 gave way to the current structure built between 1902 and 1904 under architect Henry Cheers. This transformation marked a shift in the town's architectural character and civic identity.
The Oak Room with its wood-paneled walls and high ceilings reflects local traditions around formal ceremonies and gatherings. This space remains central to how the community marks important occasions.
The building is easy to reach with parking available nearby and good public transport connections. It remains accessible during standard weekday hours and can be viewed from the street or during open events.
Inside the Town Hall stands the mast of HMS Antelope, a ship sunk during the 1982 Falklands War. This unexpected memorial connects the town to a significant moment in British military history.
