Summary
A Victorian civic hall in a Lancashire cotton town — an 1858 Italianate town hall with a council chamber, main hall, and the Italianate tower visible from the town centre, now available for community and film hire.
About this location
Accrington Town Hall was completed in 1858 in the Italianate style, with a loggia, a clock tower, and a formal council chamber. The building is the principal civic structure of Accrington, a mill town in the Hyndburn Valley in east Lancashire. The interior has the municipal character of a Victorian Lancashire town hall — formal council chamber, staircase, and main hall — in a building maintained as a working civic venue.
Accrington developed on cotton spinning and weaving and the brick-making trade (Accrington NORI brick, a hard red-pink engineering brick used throughout Victorian Britain). The town centre commercial streets — Broadway, Blackburn Road — give a working Lancashire cotton town environment in reasonable condition.
For productions, Accrington Town Hall gives a Victorian Lancashire civic interior at a scale accessible to productions of moderate budget. Hyndburn Borough Council manages the building and handles hire enquiries.
