Colchester Town Hall

Heritage Open Day: Colchester possesses one of the finest and most imposing town halls in England which reveals in its architecture the history of Britain's newest city. This exciting Edwardian Baroque design by the prominent London architect John Belcher (1841-1913) was constructed between 1897-1902. The building was described by the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as 'a triumphant expression of Colchester's civic pride, the embodiment of the borough's history and tradition'. The clock tower, built to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and named the Victoria Tower, is surmounted by a bronze figure of St Helena, 162 ft (50 metres) above the street.
