Wallasey Town Hall, and its surrounding area, is Grade II listed. It was built from sandstone between 1914 and 1916 and is a landmark well known for its wide stone steps leading down towards the River Mersey with views across to the Three Graces in Liverpool. Within the building, the entrance hall from Brighton Street is marble with a large traditional feature staircase with galleried landing, which is just one of the places you will be able to have photographs taken.
