The Grade II listed Southport Town Hall building was constructed between 1852-1853 and designed by Thomas Withnell in Palladian style with its characteristic symmetry and clear influence from Ancient Greek and Roman orders. It originally operated as the headquarters of the County Borough of Southport.
