Old Town Hall, Grade II* listed town hall in Market Place, Whitby, England.
The building features an open ground floor with pillars, double-hung sash windows, and a rectangular clock turret with gilded figures visible from all sides.
Jonathan Pickernell designed this neoclassical structure in 1788, funded by Nathaniel Cholmley, incorporating Doric columns and classical architectural elements throughout the facade.
The upper floor served as a meeting place for the Court Leet of Whitby and the Court of Pleas, while the ground level functioned as a market space.
Located at the intersection of Church Street and Market Place, the building stands near multiple heritage structures and remains accessible to visitors exploring central Whitby.
The octagonal arcaded bell-cote displays a golden fish vane at its peak, while an oval plaque on the north front shows the construction date beneath a Cholmley shield.
