This is the main Civic building in Morley. It is a Grade 1 listed building, built in a classical style. The design and construction was organised and financed by the Town Council in 1890 and it is symbolic of the independence they sought from Leeds. The main hall is intricately decorated and it is used, frequently, for functions and concerts. The building is full of finely carved wooden artefacts, stained glass and commemorative plaques. The final cost was £41,200 and it was opened on 16 October 1895 by the town’s most famous son, H.H. Asquith.  Externally the building can be appreciated by viewing the frontage from across the road.  The main entry has a portico (covered entrance) surrounded by six giant Composite columns 30 feet high and 3 feet in diameter, above which sits a pediment (triangular part).  The frontage of which displays symbolic sculptures of six women.  Representing Justice, (centre statue) the Queen (Victoria), Industry, Commerce and Science on one side and Art, Sculpture and Drama to the other.  A small cameo of a locomotive engine exiting Morley’s tunnel can be see below the large cog wheel.  (Tours around the Town Hall both inside and out are available during Heritage Weekend each September).
