More about this scene

Described by Pevsner as 'uninteresting', the Town Hall was designed by J W Beaumont and built in 1883-85. The clock and bells on the building were donated by Joshua Bradley. The plaque that commemorates him states that 'it is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born', a sentiment of great meaning in a town that played such an important part in the Chartist movement.
