Old Town Hall, Spilsby photo 1
The Old Town Hall, located in the High Street of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, is a Grade II listed municipal building with a rich history dating back to its completion in 1764. Originally built to replace a dilapidated medieval market hall, it features a neoclassical design with an asymmetrical façade and an arcaded ground floor for market activities. The first floor housed an assembly room that served multiple civic functions, including a courtroom. Notably, the building was the site for quarter sessions in the late 18th century and is home to a statue of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Today, the Old Town Hall has been repurposed to accommodate shops and a petrol station, making it a unique blend of historical significance and modern utility, appealing to both tourists and researchers interested in local heritage.
