We were delighted to be invited to Great Yarmouth Town Hall to have a visit around the building followed by tea in the Mayor’s parlour.
Councillor Mary Coleman who is currently the Mayor greeted us in the main hall.
Arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in the town, Great Yarmouth Town Hall was built in the 1880’s and is a classic example of fine Victorian Gothic architecture. A Grade II listed building, the town hall has a beautiful clock tower that was fully restored in 2008 when a number of other renovations were also carried out.
The Town Hall was designed by architect J.B.Pearce and opened by the Prince of Wales on 31 May 1882 before he became Edward VI.
The Town Hall is a public building used as offices for Great Yarmouth Borough Council. We had a tour of the Assembly Room, Council Chamber, Supper Room and Robing Room.
We were shown photos of the original building, and its restoration.
Following all this we were ready for some tea. What a spread it was. Wonderful, take a look and see.
