Ossett Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Ossett, England

The symmetrical building features twelve bays, a round-arched portal with caryatids, and a two-stage clock tower topped with an octagonal cupola and lead dome.

Constructed between 1905 and 1908 for £22,000 through public subscriptions, the town hall served as headquarters for Ossett Borough Council until 1974.

The public hall, with its extensive gallery, has hosted numerous civic events, concerts, and gatherings throughout the twentieth century.

The building contains administrative offices, a council chamber, committee rooms, and a public hall that accommodates over 1,300 people.

King George V and Queen Mary visited the town hall in July 1912, where they engaged in conversations with civic leaders outside the building.
