Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Keighley, England.
Description
The town hall is a Renaissance-style building featuring an asymmetrical main frontage with round-headed doorways, oriel windows, and the town coat of arms displayed on a pediment. It now functions as a register office and administrative center serving residents through the local council.
History
Construction of the Renaissance-style town hall began in 1900 on the site of a former timber yard, following Keighley's designation as a municipal borough in 1882. This project marked a turning point in the town's development as a modern civic center.
Culture
The war memorial in Town Hall Square, designed by Henry Charles Fehr and unveiled in 1924, serves as a gathering place for community remembrance events. Local residents visit to pay respects and mark important occasions throughout the year.
Practical
The building now houses a register office and various council services, so it operates during standard office hours. Visitors should check ahead before visiting, as certain areas may not always be accessible to the public.
Did you know?
Captain Sir Tom Moore attended a ceremony here in 2020 to receive the honorary freedom of Keighley, making it a memorable moment in the building's recent past. This visit brought national attention to the town's civic traditions and respect for service.
