A gorgeous collection of photography and stories about English Town Halls. Whether they are old or new, ugly or beautiful, town halls are visible symbols of democracy at work in communities. Written by people who care about design and democracy, and the people who work in these amazing buildings, this book is important and intriguing. It focuses on our civic buildings because their role, history and the work that goes on inside them make for fascinating tales that aren’t told widely enough. Some of the town halls featured include: Victorian classics like Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds; Art Deco beauties – Waltham Forest and Dagenham and the stunning Greek temple of Todmorden. In the 70’s concrete style are Plymouth and Newcastle and the possible futures of our town halls includes Brent Council, Coventry and more. Read and enjoy.
