Eastleigh: Former Council Offices
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 24 Jan 2010
These are the late Victorian offices of the former Eastleigh and Bishopstoke Council in Leigh Road. In 1936 Eastleigh became a Borough in its own right and this building then became the Town Hall. The building post-dates all of the earlier Victorian houses to the south and is pleasantly proportioned with a fine clock tower which gratifyingly was telling the right time. This view was taken from Cranbury Road.
