Old Town Hall, Burslem, Grade II* listed town hall in Burslem, England.
The Old Town Hall features paired Corinthian pilasters, a deep eaves cornice, and an octagonal clock turret supported by carved stone figures at the west entrance.
Built between 1854 and 1857 by architect G.T. Robinson from Wolverhampton, this structure replaced an earlier town hall from 1761 in the Market Place.
The building appeared in the 1952 film 'The Card' starring Alec Guinness and later housed Ceramica, a center displaying pottery works from the region.
Located in the central Market Place of Burslem, the former civic building now functions as a sixth form college associated with Haywood Academy.
A gilded angel stands at the top of the clock turret, restored and re-gilded in December 2000 by Bailey International Steeplejacks.
