Shire Hall, Cambridge

Shire Hall is a former municipal building in Castle Hill in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.

The building stood directly on the Castle Street frontage, with a police station adjoining.

[3] The bricks from the old prison were recycled for construction of the new shire hall but the police station was retained and converted for additional office use.

[6] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with fifteen bays facing south towards the Castle Hill mound; the central bay featured a doorway flanked with pilasters on the ground floor; there was a stone balcony and a window with a fanlight on the first floor.

The 1843 building was demolished in the early 1950s and its site incorporated into the gardens in front of the new shire hall.
