Shaw/Crompton Town Hall

Shaw & Crompton Urban District Council was based out of Shaw/Crompton Town Hall, which opened on 28 December 1894. Under the Local Government Act 1972, the town's Urban District status was abolished, and Shaw and Crompton has, since 1 April 1974, formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, a local government district of the (then) metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. The Town Hall was neglected and part of the building fell down during a storm. It was subsequently demolished.
