Birkenhead Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, England.
The Grade II* listed building features a prominent 200-foot clock tower with four faces and Scottish granite and sandstone construction.
Constructed between 1883 and 1887 by architect Christopher Ellison, the building served as the administrative headquarters for the County Borough of Birkenhead.
The clock tower includes a stained glass window depicting Edward I's 1277 visit to Birkenhead Priory, added after the 1901 fire.
The town hall currently functions as the Wirral Register Office, managing records of births, deaths, and marriages from Monday to Friday.
Five bells and the clock mechanism, manufactured by Gillett & Co for £900, continue to operate in the tower since Victorian times.
