Wem Town Hall

Wem, Shropshire

The fire which destroyed Wem's former Town Hall in 1995 provided the opportunity for North Shropshire District Council to reconsider what a Town Hall in the 21st century should be like.

The fine façade of the old building is restored to its former glory, but behind this a completely new, light and welcoming public space is created, providing a focus for the town's civic, community, tourist and arts activities.
