In my world of England the Town Hall came to represent the power and prestige of a city - the bigger and more ornate the better.
Here is Manchester Town Hall in all the glory that the ratepayers could afford.
Most of these town halls in England will have been constructed at the height of the Empire - late 1800's early 1900's .

A superb example but Glasgow built two as they tied over the final selected design.
Marvelous capture and a great look at a part of your world! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Amazing detail in the architecture.
One thing about these lovely old buildings is that ornateness extends to include the roofs. Modern buildings just seem to end at the roof.
Beautiful Town Hall. The architecture is awesome.
