Chorley Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Chorley, England.

The five-bay town hall building features a symmetrical facade with sash windows, a central doorway with a pediment, and a clock tower above the entrance.

Built in 1879 by architects John Ladds and William Henry Powell, this municipal structure replaced the original 1802 town hall commissioned by John Hollinshead.

The Lancastrian Room within the town hall served as a central gathering space for community events, exhibitions, and civic functions throughout its history.

Located on Market Street, the building underwent substantial renovations in 2005, including the addition of a glass-roofed atrium to enhance visitor accessibility.

The basement contains a control center built during the 1980s, designed as a protective space for civic leaders in case of nuclear emergencies.
