Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Blackburn with Darwen, England

The municipal building on King William Street features Italianate architecture with Corinthian columns and a prominent clock tower adorning its facade.

The construction began in 1856 under architect James Patterson and officially opened the same year with William Hoole serving as mayor.

The hall maintains a collection of memorial paving stones honoring local Victoria Cross recipients, including William Grimbaldeston and James Pitts.

The building functions as the headquarters of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, hosting government meetings and administrative services.

A 60-meter tower block annex connects to the main building through an elevated enclosed footbridge, reaching 166 meters above sea level.
