Ashton Town Hall

Ashton Town Hall is a public building on Katherine Street in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The building, which was designed by Charles Lee in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1840. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Katherine Street; the central section of five bays featured three round headed openings on the ground floor; there were sash windows on the first floor and four full-height Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature bearing the words "Erected AD MDCCCXL" (Erected 1840). Extended to the west in a similar style in 1878 by William Young, the hall was intended to provide areas for administrative purposes and public functions. A public library was established in the building in 1881 but removed to the new technical school in 1894. Two Russian guns, which had been captured during the Crimean War, were installed outside the town hall in 1858. These guns were removed and melted down for materials during the Second World War. The town hall was the headquarters of Ashton-under-Lyne municipal borough but ceased to be the local seat of government when Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. The vacant building became the home of the Museum of the Manchester Regiment, which had previously been based at Ladysmith Barracks, in 1987. Items on display related to the Manchester Regiment including six Victoria Crosses that had been awarded to former members of the regiment. In 2002 two Turkish guns, which had been captured by the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Welch Fusiliers serving as part of the Cretan International Force at Candia in Crete in 1897 in the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War, were moved from Hightown Barracks in Wrexham and installed outside the town hall to replace the Russian Guns. The Prince of Wales visited the recently refurbished Ladysmith Gallery at the museum in November 2002. The museum closed in 2016 so that redevelopment works could be undertaken. Following delays with the main redevelopment works, following the collapse of the contractor, Carillion, the council approved urgent repair works to the parapet and roof of the building in January 2020.

Wavertree Lock-up

Wavertree Lock-up is an 18th-century grade II listed village lock-up located in Wavertree, Liverpool, England. History Funded by local residents, the lock-up was constructed in 1796 as a drunk tank to hold intoxicated persons overnight. Prior to its construction a local unpaid constable was charged with looking after drunks in their own home all the while claiming an expense of 2 shillings. Eventually, it became cheaper for a lock-up to be built rather than house drunks with a constable and therefore the building was constructed. Made from yellow sandstone, the building is octagonal in shape, two storeys high and made of local sandstone. During the 1840s the lock-up served as an isolation room for cholera victims and later during the Irish famine accommodation for families. In 1869, James Picton replaced the building's original flat roof with a pointed one to prevent prisoners from escaping through the building's roof.

Tenterden Town Hall

Tenterden Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street in Tenterden, Kent, England. The structure, which is the meeting place of Tenterden Town Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The first municipal building in the town was a medieval court hall which was burnt down by an inmate who had been incarcerated in the debtors' cells in March 1661. The borough council subsequently met in public houses until, in the late 18th century, the civic leaders decided to commission a dedicated building. The site they selected was owned by John Samson, who also owned the Woolpack Inn. After the council had acquired a long lease on the right-hand section of the site, construction started in 1790. The new building was designed in the Italianate style, built in brick with a stucco finish at a cost of £1,000 and was completed in 1792. The design involved a main frontage with five bays facing onto the High Street; the right-hand section, which was symmetrical, featured a doorway flanked by pilasters and by round headed openings with a prominent Venetian window on the first floor. The left-hand section featured a carriageway on the left and a three-part sash window on the right, while the first floor was fenestrated by a single sash window on the left and by a three-part sash window on the right. Internally, the rooms occupied by the council, which were in the right-hand section, were the grand jury room on the ground floor and the assembly hall on the first floor. The roof of the building was repaired after it was badly damaged in a fire in September 1879, a balcony supported by four columns was installed in May 1912 and the freehold in the property was acquired in February 1922. The council secured ownership of the left-hand section of the building as well in October 1925, so allowing a mayor's parlour to be established on the first floor. The building was also extended to the north to create a town clerk's office in 1936 and it was refurbished, with the Venetian window being replaced, in 1973. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Ashford Borough Council was formed in 1974. It subsequently became the meeting place of Tenterden Town Council as well as an approved venue for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. In January 2021, the town council announced plans to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the building, which would include the replacement of the 1930s extension, to a design by local architects, Theis & Khan, at a proposed cost of £1.75 million. Works of art in the town hall include a portrait by Lance Calkin of the member of parliament, Colonel James Palmer, a portrait by Daisy Radcliffe Beresford of Reverend Joseph Robert Diggle and a portrait by William Hoare of the master of Sunbury School, Samuel Curteis.

Mains Hall

Mains Hall (also known as Mains Hall Manor) is a historic building on Mains Lane in Singleton, Lancashire, England. It is Grade II listed, dating to the 16th century. A manor house, from the 11th century, is believed to have once stood on the site. Today's manor house was remodelled in the 17th century and altered again in the 18th century and beyond. It is now a hotel. It is in rendered brick with a slate roof, and has an irregular plan. The building has two storeys, and a hall range with projecting gabled bays, a large extension to the rear, and other additions. Most of the windows have been altered but there is one two-light mullioned window, and inside are the remains of some of the original timberwork. George IV is believed to have visited the manor in the early 19th century, while Cardinal Allen hid there to evade the Protestant authorities during the Reformation. The monks of Cockersand Abbey were granted right of passage at the manor. The manor was home to the Hesketh family for around 300 years; it was also the home of the Fitzherberts. Roger and Adele Yeomans purchased the property in 1989, when it was a bed and breakfast. A fire in 2002 revealed that the manor's walls were still the original wattle and daub construction. During restoration work, the Yeomans also discovered a secret chapel. An 18th-century octagonal dovecote, constructed of handmade brick, stands around 150 metres (490 ft) north of the manor. It is also Grade II listed. See also Listed buildings in Singleton, Lancashire References

The Mount, Fleetwood

The Mount is a pavilion in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Built between 1902 and 1904, to a design by Decimus Burton, the structure has been Grade II listed by English Heritage since 1989. The building, which stands atop a large sand dune originally known as Tup's Hill overlooking the Irish Sea, replaced a pagoda, also designed by Burton, around which he planned the layout of Fleetwood. The pavilion is constructed of roughcast brick with tile roofs. It has an octagonal dome with a copper roof. Part of a 7-acre (2.8 ha) site, it is located between The Esplanade to the north and Mount Road to the south. The original construction played an important part in allowing 19th-century Fleetwood to operate as a 24-hour port. Its flagstaff was used to send flag signals out to sea, while the building was used as a coastguard lookout. In 1886, the Met Office installed an anemometer on the building to record wind speed and rainfall. Information was dispatched daily to Greenwich via telegraph. In 1919, a World War I memorial in the form of a clock was installed at the Mount. It contains two bells. When Fleetwood was hit by a flood in October 1927, putting 90% of the town under water, only the higher areas around the Mount escaped. The wall on the inland side of the Mount is built from pebbles, in traditional Fylde style. The Mount and the entire length of Fleetwood Promenade has an uninterrupted view across Morecambe Bay, a view described by author Bill Bryson in chapter 23 of his book Notes From a Small Island as "easily one of the most beautiful in the world, with unforgettable views across to the green and blue Lakeland hills: Scafell, Coniston Old Man, the Langdale Pikes." Directly across the Esplanade from the Mount lies the Marine Hall and Marine Gardens, Wyre Borough's largest entertainment venue, opened in 1935. The upper floors of the building were converted into apartments in 1990.An adjacent building to the west is named the Mount Hotel. It is also Grade II listed.

Colne Town Hall

Colne Town Hall is a municipal building in Albert Road, Colne, Lancashire, England. The town hall, which is the meeting place of Colne Town Council, is a grade II listed building. History After significant population growth associated with the increasing number of cotton mills in the town, the area became an urban district in 1894. In this context, civic leaders decided the procure a dedicated town hall; the site selected was a vacant site at the corner of two rows of residential properties (Albert Road and New Market Street). The new building, which was designed by Alfred Waterhouse in the Gothic style, was built with ashlar stone and was officially opened by the chairman of the council, Samuel Catlow, on 13 January 1894. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Albert Road; the central bay featured a doorway flanked by colonettes supporting a stone arch on the ground floor; there was an oriel window on the first floor and a four-stage clock tower with pyramid-shaped roof above. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the mayor's parlour. The Cambridge quarter-chiming clock was made by Potts of Leeds, and the five bells by Taylor of Loughborough. A large paving stone, which was hewn from rock from Clough Fold Quarry near Rawtenstall and which measured 10 feet (3.0 m) by 9 feet (2.7 m) and weighed 2 tonnes (4,400 lb), was laid outside the front door of the building during its construction. Investigations conducted by a research team funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund indicated that this paving stone is only exceeded in surface area by the large paving stones in front of St George's Hall in Liverpool. After the area achieved municipal borough status on 14 September 1895, the building became the headquarters of the new borough and Councillor Samuel Catlow became its first mayor. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Pendle Borough Council was formed in 1974. It became the meeting place of Colne Town Council when it was formed in 2008. The town council also took over responsibility for the management of the building in October 2017 and, following a programme of refurbishment works on the ground floor to create "the Waterhouse Bar" as a space for drinks receptions, the town council re-opened the council chamber and the mayor's parlour as venues for marriages and civil partnership ceremonies in February 2020.
