County Hall, Municipal building in Morpeth, United Kingdom

The County Hall features modern architectural design with continuous glazing bands intersected by red brick sections throughout its exterior walls.

The foundation stone was laid by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 1979, and the building officially opened its doors in April 1981.

A notable Viking Warrior statue, created by sculptor Margaret Wrightson in 1925, stands at the entrance of County Hall after relocation from Doxford Hall.

The building serves as the primary headquarters for Northumberland County Council, providing office spaces and meeting rooms for administrative functions.

Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Northumberland, attended a formal lunch at County Hall in July 2001.
