Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in The Square, Retford, England
The red brick building features stone decorations, symmetrical frontage with five bays, paired Ionic columns, round-headed windows, and a prominent clock tower.
The current town hall, completed in 1868, replaced earlier structures dating back to 1388, including a moot hall destroyed by fire in 1528.
The interior contains significant artworks, including portraits of Queen Victoria and Colonel Whittaker, reflecting local governance and community heritage.
The building continues to serve as a meeting venue for Bassetlaw District Council and provides space for various community events and ceremonies.
A time capsule was placed beneath the foundation stone during construction in June 1866, while the clock from the previous town hall was transferred to the new structure.
