The Town Hall
In 1905 the commercially run institute got into financial difficulties and was taken over by the Town Council and known as the Town Hall. For many years it was used as a cinema. The first film was shown in 1913 and the first "talkie" in 1931. It was later used as a carpet store before the hall was demolished in 1986 leaving only the clock and the tower standing.
At present the clock does not work
