Darlington Town Hall

Darlington Town Hall is a municipal building in Feethams with concrete and glass construction that stretches along the street. Vertical strips of elm wood decorate the council chamber on the facade.

The building has been home to the local council since 1970 and became the seat of the unitary authority in 1997. This change reflected how local government was reorganized across England.

The sculpture Resurgence, made from zinc and stainless steel, stands outside the town hall and shows how the town has changed through modern building. It represents the area's transformation and growth.

The building functions as an approved venue for weddings and civil partnerships, giving residents a central location for these events. Visitors should be aware that it remains an active government building with limited access during working hours.

The building sits on the former site of the Lead Yard Bus Station, which itself had replaced an earlier workhouse building. The location has undergone several transformations over time.
