Wallasey Town Hall, a Grade II* listed building on Brighton Street in Seacombe, Wirral, UK, is an iconic, monumental structure overlooking the River Mersey. The building was designed by architects Briggs, Wolstenholme & Thornely in the Neoclassical style and built by Moss and Sons of Loughborough.
The foundation stone was laid by King George V accompanied by Queen Mary on 25th March 1914.
In 1916, the completed building was placed under the command of the 1st Western General Hospital in Fazakerley and used as a military hospital for soldiers who had been wounded in action during the First World War. After the war it was converted for its intended use as a municipal building and was officially opened as Wallasey Town Hall on 3rd November 1920.
Wallasey became a Municipal Borough in 1910 and a County Borough in 1913
