County Hall, Durham, Municipal building in Aykley Heads, Durham, England
County Hall features continuous bands of glazing with exposed concrete beams, exemplifying the architectural principles of Brutalist design from the 1960s.
The Duke of Edinburgh officially inaugurated County Hall in October 1963, marking its completion at a construction cost of £2.75 million.
The building displays a large mosaic mural by Clayton and Gelson depicting local scenes, incorporating elements of Durham's heritage into its design.
Durham County Council operates from this headquarters building, providing administrative services and hosting regular council meetings for the region.
The main chamber contains a memorial transferred from the former Shire Hall commemorating council staff who died in both World Wars.
