Burnley Town Hall, Victorian municipal building in Burnley, England.

The three-story sandstone building features an octagonal tower with a copper dome, pink granite Ionic columns, and ornate Renaissance architectural details throughout its exterior.

The construction of Burnley Town Hall began in 1885 during a period of industrial growth, replacing the previous council meetings held at the old fire station.

The interior mosaic pavement incorporates tiles by Craven Dunnill that display the town's coat of arms, representing the local identity and craftsmanship.

The town hall contains administrative offices, council chambers, and meeting rooms that serve the current needs of the Burnley Borough Council.

The building's clock mechanism, designed by Lord Grimthorpe and manufactured by Potts of Leeds, mirrors the design of the Palace of Westminster's timepiece.
