Old County Hall, Truro


Old County Hall is a municipal facility at Station Road in Truro, Cornwall. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it became necessary to find a meeting place for Cornwall County Council. The new building, which was designed by T. B. Silcock, was completed in 1890. After the County Council moved to New County Hall at Treyew Road in 1966, the Old County Hall site continued to be used for the Cornwall Record Office. The building was acquired by a developer in 2012 and subsequently converted for residential and leisure use.
