County Hall, Nottinghamshire, Government building in West Bridgford, England.
County Hall in West Bridgford serves as the administrative center for Nottinghamshire and sits along the southern bank of the River Trent on Loughborough Road. The building stands out with its distinctive green roof that shapes the local skyline.
The foundation stone was laid in 1939, but construction halted during World War II and resumed only in 1954. Post-war adjustments simplified the design to manage expenses.
The building represents the administrative center of Nottinghamshire, excluding the City of Nottingham which maintains separate governance.
The building sits in an accessible location overlooking the river with easy access from different parts of town. Parking and public transport links are available in the surrounding area.
The original design included a bell tower that was never built due to post-war budget limitations. This missing tower would have been a striking feature of the structure.
