Shire Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Newport, United Kingdom.

The Shire Hall building features a symmetrical main frontage with five bays, including a central section with a porch and curved pediment.

Following the Local Government Act of 1888, architect William Tanner designed this municipal building, which opened in 1902 as County Council Offices.

The council chamber at the rear of Shire Hall, constructed during the 1913 renovations, hosted Monmouthshire County Council meetings until 1974.

The building underwent a transformation in 2014, converting the space into residential apartments with both one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations.

The first floor displays a triple window beneath a gable containing a roundel with the inscription 'Monmouthshire County Council 1889'.
