More about this scene
The gabled Renaissance-style Town Hall, built on the corner of Pinstone Street and Surrey Street, was designed by E W Mountford and completed in 1896; its official opening by Queen Victoria took place the following year. The tower is 210 ft high and topped off with a bronze statue of Vulcan. In 1898 the city accountant broke the news to the rate payers that the building had cost over £182,000.
