Old Town Hall, Grade I listed town hall in Market Place, Carlisle, England
The Old Town Hall features a stone clock tower cupola, green slate roof, and two serpentine staircases leading to an entrance with stone architrave.
The current building, constructed in 1669, replaced a medieval moot hall from 1345 and received extensions in 1717 with a clock tower section.
The assembly rooms within the building served as courts of assize until 1881 and continued functioning as magistrates' courts through 1941.
The tourist information center occupies the first floor, providing visitor services, accommodation bookings, event tickets, and locally produced merchandise.
The location marks the installation site of the first pillar box in the United Kingdom in 1853, now commemorated by a replica Penfold design.
