The Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Pembroke, United Kingdom
Description
The Town Hall is a limestone building on Main Street featuring a symmetrical facade with five bays finished in ashlar stone and stucco. The structure displays classical architectural balance with its carefully proportioned windows, doors, and formal entrance treatment.
History
The building was constructed in 1819 and replaced an earlier shire hall where theologian John Wesley delivered sermons in May 1781. The current structure represents 19th-century civic development and the town's growing institutional importance.
Culture
The building houses a local history museum in its former courtroom, displaying silent film archives and collections of regional artifacts.
Practical
The building serves as the meeting location for Pembroke Town Council and maintains public access during regular business hours. Visitors should note that opening times may vary depending on council sessions or events taking place.

Queen Elizabeth II presented a teak cigarette box crafted from Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert timber, which remains on display today. This gift connects the town to royal history and represents one of the hall's most unusual possessions.
