[1] The name was also formerly used for a complex of buildings which had been built in 1865 as a corn exchange in Market Square, and which served as the offices and meeting place of the local council from 1901 to 1968.

[3] This building was originally commissioned as a corn exchange by a consortium of local businessmen, who formed a venture known as the "Aylesbury Market Company", which was established with capital of £18,000 under an Act of Parliament in 1863.

[6] The new building was designed by David Brandon in the Jacobean style, built in red brick with stone dressings and completed in 1865.

[3] The outer bays in the right hand section featured pedestrian archways flanked by full height columns with a mullion window on the first floor and a parapet above.

[13] The council converted the former covered market in the southern wing of the building to become its municipal offices, and used the main hall for meetings and public events.

In recognition of the numerous appearances of David Bowie at the civic centre, a statue of him was erected in 2018 under the Town Hall Arches.
