Leicester Town Hall (Leicester)

United Kingdom / England / Leicester / Bishop Street, 12
 administrative building, town hall, Grade II* Listed (UK)
Leicester Town Hall is in the City Centre in Town Hall Square, running between Horsefair Street and Bishop Street. It was built in the Queen Anne style by Francis Hames, a local architect, in 1875, on the site of the former Cattle Market. The Council had organised a competition to build a new Town Hall, and entries were invited from any architect who cared to take part. Hames was the ultimate winner. It was the first civic building in England to be built in the Queen Anne style." - excerpt from: tinyurl.com/2uk7kpx
