Knottingley Town Hall, Municipal hall in Knottingley, England
The Victorian building on Weeland Road features a symmetrical facade with five bays, an arched doorway, and wrought iron gates at its entrance point.
Local businessmen, led by Sidney Woolf from Ferrybridge Potteries, formed a company to finance the construction of the town hall in 1865 for £2,400.
The first floor assembly hall has hosted numerous community gatherings, including a performance of Handel's Messiah attended by local dignitaries in January 1870.
The building currently operates as a community center managed by volunteers, offering spaces for public meetings and various community activities.
A monastery from the 7th century previously stood on the site where the town hall was later constructed.
