This building houses the offices for Newcastle-Under-Lyme town and borough councils. In 1910 nearby Stoke-on-Trent was formed by the amalgamation of six towns (Stoke-Upon-Trent, Hanley, Fenton, Longton, Burslem and Tunstall) but despite many efforts to include Newcastle they remained separate following an overwhelming vote of 97.4% opposing a merger. Following the Local Government Act 1972 it became the Borough of Newcastle-Under-Lyme.
