Crosby Town Hall

Crosby Town Hall is a three-bay Italianate municipal structure on Great Georges Road featuring a central portico with Tuscan columns and decorative cornice detailing. Stained glass windows punctuate the facade and enhance the interior light throughout the building.

The building served as headquarters for Waterloo Urban District Council starting in 1863 and later housed Crosby Borough Council until municipal reorganization in 1974. Its Italianate design reflects the architectural confidence of the Victorian era.

The town hall reflects the traditional role of English municipal governance, with its council chamber and mayor's parlour still visible reminders of how local administration functioned in these communities.

The building currently operates as a register office and houses social services departments, so access may be limited outside regular office hours. Visitors should check in advance which areas are open for viewing and when it is best to visit.

In 2020 the building was featured in a video project capturing stories of coastal communities during regional celebrations. This participation highlights its ongoing role in local community activities beyond its official functions.
