On December 22, 1873, Northallerton Town Hall was formally opened with a concert by “a talented company of artistes” from York. Over time, this evolved into the town hall, the home of all local regulation. Northallerton took back control in the early 1870s and then formed the Town Hall, Market and Public Improvements Company to raise £3,000 to modernise the town centre. Northallerton town hall was his last major work. Middleham (1862) is more impressive.”Pevsner then damns Northallerton Town Hall by saying that is “really irredeemable: joyless, utterly ignorant and not inventive either”.
