Salford Town Hall, Grade II listed civic building in Salford, England.
The stone-faced neoclassical town hall features a minimalist Doric entablature, grand entrance hall, and a prominent clock tower overlooking Bexley Square.
Construction began in 1827 under architect Richard Lane, initially serving as a market hall before becoming the town hall in 1835 and courthouse in 1840.
The structure witnessed the Battle of Bexley Square in 1931, when 10,000 protesters confronted police, an event now marked by a commemorative plaque.
The building transformed from a civic center to apartments in 2015, following its previous role as Salford Magistrates Court until December 2011.
The town hall became the first civic building in Salford to incorporate electric lighting in 1882, marking a significant technological advancement for the period.
