Horncastle Town Hall
Formerly known as the Drill Hall, this building was built in 1901 and saw use by the military in both world wars. It has been used since for dances and concerts. The single storey attachment to the side of the hall was an indoor rifle range but is now council offices.

Fire escape on the west end of the building, which cuts across two windows. I would have thought that the escape would have extended outwards to allow escape from the windows, but I'm no expert.

The Remains of the Livestock Market on Horncastle Wong
At the time of writing these cattle and sheep pens which have been slowly rusting away since the closure of the market occupy just about the most controversial piece of land in Horncastle. The local council wants to build new council offices on this land, a proposal which sees furious opposition from many local residents. These stalls occupy part of an area of land known as "The Wong". Some argue that as The Wong is ancient common land it should not be built on. The word "wong" is an rarely used term meaning 'common land' although it was in more regular usage about 1000 years ago.
