Borough Hall, Bedford, Municipal building in Bedford, England
Borough Hall stands seven stories tall with exposed concrete beams and continuous bands of glazing across all floors on Cauldwell Street.
The building, designed by Deputy County Architect Douglas Chalk, opened in 1970 as County Hall before becoming Bedford Borough Council headquarters in 2009.
Queen Elizabeth II visited the administrative center in May 1976 during her journey to inaugurate new facilities at Bedford Modern School.
The structure houses council chambers, committee rooms, and administrative offices, serving as the primary location for local government operations.
Construction challenges emerged from the reinforced concrete frame that curved toward the River Great Ouse, requiring partial demolition during initial building phases.
