Town Hall, Town hall in Bridgnorth, England
Bridgnorth Town Hall is a municipal building with large arches at ground level and two turrets rising from the roof. A prominent clock faces south on the gable end, making it a recognizable landmark.
The building began as an oak-framed barn donated by Lady Bertie in 1652. It replaced an earlier burgess hall that had stood at North Gate since 1270.
Stained glass windows from 1887 show portraits of monarchs who granted charters to Bridgnorth between 1157 and 1830. They serve as a visual reminder of the town's long relationship with royal recognition.
The ground floor is open to visitors, allowing close views of the arches and interior layout. The square in front provides the best vantage point for seeing the full facade and clock.
Carriages could pass through the ground-floor arches while markets operated overhead in the administrative spaces. This dual purpose made the building both a marketplace and a seat of government at the same time.
