Nuneaton Town Hall
Nuneaton became a Municipal Borough in 1907 and by the 1930s there was a need for premises sufficiently large to accommodate its expanding staff numbers. This new town hall, designed by Peacock & Bewley of Birmingham, was the solution, formally opening in 1934. Under the 1974 local government reorganisation, Nuneaton was merged with Bedworth Urban District Council to form Nuneaton and Bedworth Council; the town hall became the new council's headquarters, a function it continues to perform.
