| Description |
This is the Town Hall on Queen Street in King's Lynn. Built in 1895 in the same style as the much older Guildhall next door to the right. What is confusing is that you don't know where the Town Hall starts, and ends with the Guildhall. By the time I got to the Guildhall, I thought the Town Hall was part of the Guildhall. It is Grade II listed. Town Hall. 1895 by Tree & Price (of London). Stone and flint. Slate roof with cupola on ridge. Elizabethan and Gothic Revival styles. 2 storeys. Heavily chequered to imitate the Guildhall immediately south. Elevation divided horizontally: plinth course, a row of 3-light double-transomed windows, a chequerwork band, and a further row of 3-light double-transomed windows. The lower 2 zones interrupted to south by an arched and ogeed porch entrance. The upper 2 zones have a central canted oriel. Tall gable to north in which is a 9-light panel-tracery perpendicular window under an ogeed round arch. Between each bay, of which there are nominally 9, rises stepped buttresses to the chequerworked parapet. 2 of these buttresses cut through the large Perpendicular window. INTERIOR. Grand but unadventurous. Entrance passage leads to staircase hall lined with small-framed panelling. Closed string staircase with splat balusters and square newels. Various rooms to first floor panelled for official use, including courtroom with complete fittings of 1895. <a href="http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=384256&resourceID=5" rel="nofollow">Town Hall, King's Lynn - Heritage Gateway</a> Foundation stone of the town hall.
