Longton town hall built in 1844 on land at the junction of Market Street and Commerce Street. This was originally 'a handsome brick structure supported by an arched basement'.
In 1856 the ground floor arches were filled in and the walls faced with stucco when the building was  converted into a court house.
The meetings of the Longton Borough council were held in this town hall.
