Town Hall


(Click photo for larger version. Press Back button to return here.)



"T" is for "Town Hall" and today's photo shows Ashton under Lyne's Town Hall today on a rather wintry November afternoon, with a thin coating of snow covering the ground.

Last week we had a view of the Mayor's staircase inside the Town Hall.

The main part of the building, with its Corinthian columns, was opened in 1840, with extensions built to the left and to the rear in 1878.

See Birds Eye View of this location. See Google Street View of this location.

"Town Hall" is a contribution to ABC Wednesday. For more "T" posts from around the world please follow this link.

    Beautiful building, with a great sky in the background. The architectural detail reminds me of the Crescent in Buxton.

    The decorations are as elegant as the building.

    Lovely old building indeed. A dusting of snow sounds like something on a cake - delicately pretty. So nice.
