The old building in the foreground is the Town Hall which has stood there for more than 60 years.

Where exactly?

So. My answer is Town Hall  and New  Maternity and childrens services building built circa 1948 or 1949.   

Yes, but where?

Do you not think it's tad plain for a town hall?

I don't think it's a Town Hall - gut feeling still says school. Have we found out what it says on the plaque - is it a date?

Next to the New Health centre.

When I said 'where exactly', I meant in which town/city are the town hall and new health centre situated? Since you were so precise about their age and use I assumed you knew where they were  :D

A small town  or borough,  or an Urban District Council.  would have a Town Hall such as this.

The garden was well maintained.

But the long building to the left hand side looks just like a sports hall for a school - I really don't think it looks officey at all.

And to me, the 'old building in the foreground' looks nothing like a town hall, but like a school masters house that became part of a school - but that is probably because that is what my school looks like!
