Burton upon Trent Town Hall, Grade II listed municipal building in Shobnall, England
The Victorian Gothic town hall stands in King Edward Place with a prominent clock tower featuring Cambridge-chiming mechanisms and municipal offices.
Michael Thomas Bass constructed the building in 1878 as Saint Paul's Institute and Liberal Club before his son donated it to Burton Borough in 1891.
The building houses a Wurlitzer organ from 1973, transferred from the Cameo Theatre in Ohio, adding musical heritage to its administrative functions.
The structure serves as headquarters for East Staffordshire Borough Council, providing essential administrative services to the local community since 1974.
Queen Elizabeth II greeted the public from the building's balcony during her visit on March 28, 1957, marking a significant moment in local history.
