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

The stone building features Victorian design elements, including a prominent clock tower, marble columns, ornate stained glass windows, and decorative stonework throughout its exterior.

Built in 1889 at a cost of £40,000, the town hall represented the municipal growth of Dewsbury during the industrial expansion of the late nineteenth century.

The concert hall within the building holds 700 seats and regularly hosts musical performances, civic ceremonies, and community gatherings for Dewsbury residents.

Located on Wakefield Old Road in the town center, the building stands within an 8-minute walk from Dewsbury Train Station and 6 minutes from the Bus Station.

King George V and Queen Mary visited the town hall twice, first in 1912 and again in 1918 to thank residents for their First World War contributions.
