Chester Town Hall

Chester's Town Hall, with its tower and spire rising to the height of 160 feet, was built between 1865-9 and opened on 15 October 1869 by HRH The Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester, later to become King Edward VII. It was designed by William Henry Lynn and is a Victorian Reinterpretation of the 13th century Cloth Hall at Ypres in Belgium.

I used to work for Chester City Council and attended many meetings in this fine building.
