| Building C.19 |
The Guildhall. Built 1886-90 in Italianate classical design by William Hill of Leeds, but rebuilt in 1950 by E. Berry Webber, after sustaining heavy damage during the Second World War. The two main storeys are ashlar faced on a rusticated raised basement. A spectacular staircase leads to the main entrance under a hexastyle Corinthian portico. The pediment contains symbolic sculpture and is surmounted by a statue of Neptune. Either side of the entrance, colonnades rise the full height of the two storeys. Two cupolas with elongated domes form a foreground feature to the tower which is in three stages. The rusticated base rises several feet above roof level. This is surmounted by the bell-stage, the final stage containing the clock. This was originally surmounted by a cupola but now terminates in an octagonal feature. The sides of the building are recessed behind Corinthian colonnades. Ref: Buildings of England, Hampshire and the IOW (Pevnser & Lloyd) pp.445-446. | T&CP Act CA |
