Flint Town Hall History

The Town Hall in Flint is a splendid and imposing building in the Tudor-Gothic style at the very centre of the town.  It was completed in 1840 and costing £1,734 was erected on the site of the old Town Hall.  During the laying of the foundations many Roman coins were found. The architect responsible for its design was Mr. John Welsh. The Town Hall is built of sandstone on two storeys, forming a rectangular gabled structure flanked at both ends by octagonal embattled turrets and has a balcony.

The First Council Meeting was held in the new Town Hall on 10th February 1840.

The Chair that the Mayor sits on and most of the furniture in the Council Chamber was donated by Courtaulds, Aldermen and Councillors of Flint Borough Council.

Some of the wooden roof beams were part of the original Town Hall built in 1840.

The fine painted ceiling in the Mayor’s Chamber was presented by Mr. Ross Mahon, a burgess of the town. The artist was Mr. Joseph Hall, a Town Councillor. It contains fifteen panels, representing the armorial bearings of the fifteen ancient royal tribes of North Wales

The Town Council has a booklet on the History of Flint Town Hall which details information on the history of the building and all its portraits and memorabilia.
