Former Town Hall, Radcliffe

The town hall was built in 1911 on the junction of Water Street and Spring Lane. It had a large council chamber with a public gallery on the first floor, along with four committee rooms; it formed the public administrative centre for the district for some time. Under the Local Government Act 1972, the town’s urban district status was abolished and in April 1974 Radcliffe became an unparished area of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury. The town hall stood empty for many years until, in 1999 after extensive renovation, the building was converted to self-contained one-bedroom flats of various sizes to provide private accommodation for 10 single homeless people.
