What is now the Town Hall started life as a large house designed by Henry Wyatt in 1852 but when acquired to become the Town Hall it was massively extended in 1901. The section with large oriel window and turrets nearest the camera dates from then. The gardens in front running down to the Foreshore were private gardens for the house which were acquired at the same time and opened as public gardens. These gardens were refurbished about 10 years ago.
