Lytham St Annes Town Hall, Municipal building on South Promenade in Lytham St Annes, England.
Description
Lytham St Annes Town Hall is a stone building on South Promenade with six bays, a prominent porch, and varied bay windows across its facade. It serves today as Fylde Council headquarters while also housing public galleries and administrative offices accessible to visitors.
History
Built in 1898 as the Southdown Hydro Hotel, this structure became the town hall in 1925 following the merger of St Annes and Lytham districts. This shift marked a turning point in how the two communities shared administration and services.
Culture
The building houses the Lytham St Annes Art Collection, which visitors can view in galleries within the former hotel space. People in the town have long gathered here not just for administrative purposes but also to experience local and regional artwork.
Practical
The building is open to visitors on weekdays and houses administrative offices for council services and public transactions. Plan to visit during the week, keeping in mind that midday and late Friday afternoon may see more people.
Did you know?
The interior preserves original Minton wall tiles and stained glass windows from its time as a hotel. These details subtly remind visitors of the elegant purpose the building once served.
