County Hall, Trowbridge photo 1
County Hall is a significant municipal building located in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, completed in 1940 and serving as the headquarters of Wiltshire Council. Designed in the Neo-Georgian style by Philip Hepworth, the building features a symmetrical facade with a prominent portico and a polygon-shaped council chamber. Historically, it replaced inadequate facilities from the 19th century and was strategically chosen for its railway connections. During World War II, it was camouflaged to avoid detection by enemy aircraft. The building underwent extensive refurbishment in 2012, enhancing its public facilities, which include a registration service office, spaces for marriage ceremonies, and the town's public library, making it a focal point for both local governance and community activities.
