Pontefract Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Pontefract, England
The town hall building exhibits Jacobean architecture with red brick walls, sandstone decorations, and a steep Welsh slate roof on Bridge Street.
Constructed in 1785 by local surveyor Bernard Hartley, the town hall served as the meeting place for Pontefract Borough Council until 1974.
The Nelson Room displays the original plaster cast frieze that was created for Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square.
The venue includes two main spaces: the Nelson Room for up to 30 people and an Assembly Hall that accommodates 120 guests.
The central entrance hall leads to a first-floor galleried assembly room featuring decorative panels and an arched ceiling with transverse ribs.
