Darlaston Town Hall

[1] Following significant population growth, largely associated with the status of Darlaston as a market town, a local board of health was established the area in 1869.

It was designed by Jethro Cossins in the Queen Anne style, built in brick with stone dressings at a cost of £5,500 and was officially opened on 31 October 1888.

The central section of seven bays featured an elliptically headed doorway with voussoirs and a keystone flanked by pilasters supporting a parapet.

In 1966, the district became part of the County Borough of Walsall,[7] which used the building to house its social services department, while also making the main hall available for community events.

[8] By 1903 the public hall was adorned with a fine new pipe organ, a gift to the town from the widow of James Slater, an ex-chairman of the local board, in his memory.
