Inside the Town Hall


Leamington's town hall, complete with marble statue of Queen Victoria in front, is quite a local landmark.  Until Saturday I had not seen inside, but a Save the Children Fund Craft Fair being held there meant that I was able to have a look at least at the main hall and stairs.



At the top of the stairs, a marble bust commemorated the coronation of King Edward VII.


Along the corridor was a rather imposing carved oak long case clock..


The adjacent sign indicates that it was made in Leicestershire in 1770 and donated to Leamington Museum and Art a Gallery in 1919.

  1. And did you come out empty handed from the craft sale?

    1. No, I supported the cause with a few purchases! (As at the Vintage Fair)
