Darlington Town Hall

Darlington Town Hall is a municipal building in Feethams, Darlington, County Durham, England. It is the meeting place of Darlington Borough Council.

In the late 1960s proposals were developed by the Shepherd Building Group to demolish the town's market hall and redevelop the area: these proposals were supported by the Conservative administration on the Borough Council. The borough architect, Eric Tornbohm, subsequently developed plans, which were supported by the successor Labour Party administration to create a series of "concrete and glass boxes" in the area. After Alfred Waterhouse's town hall became inadequate, civic leaders decided to construct the first of these "concrete and glass boxes": the site they selected in Feethams had been occupied by the Lead Yard Bus Station which itself had been built on the site of the old Darlington Union Workhouse.
