Burnley Town Hall, Manchester Road
Burnley had no town hall when it achieved borough status in 1861; council meetings had to be held in the old fire station in Manchester Road. This situation sufficed until 1868 when the council acquired the public hall in Elizabeth Street which had been built in 1861 by a private company serving the town as a public hall, theatre and swimming pool, and had been known as Albert Baths. The council offices and council chamber in Elizabeth Street served for 20 years until 1888 when the present town hall opened.
The present three-storey, Renaissance style building was originally constructed to be used as a town hall with police station, Magistrate's Court and public baths. The police station and court are now used for storage and the baths were demolished in 1975.
The building is Grade II-listed by English Heritage (English Heritage Building ID: 467133 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-467133-town-hall-with-attached-railings-lancash British Listed Buildings).
