5 – The Town Hall

You could hardly miss the striking building in prime position at the head of the High Street, with its arched windows and decorative stone. Our Town Hall is built in the Italianate style, a popular architectural choice in the 1800s. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert loved this style and had their beloved holiday home, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, built in it on a vast scale.
