Waterloo Town Hall, Merseyside
Waterloo Town Hall, also known as Crosby Town Hall (1937–1974), is a historic building on Great George's Road in Waterloo, Merseyside, England. It is a Grade II listed building.
Built in 1862–63 in the Italianate style, it was designed by the council surveyor F. S. Spencer Yates. The front features three bays and a grand entrance.
It served as the headquarters of Waterloo Urban District Council from 1863 to 1937, then for Crosby Borough Council from 1937 to 1974. A rear extension was added in 1893.
When Sefton Council was formed in 1974, it ceased to be the local seat of government. Since then it has been used as offices for Sefton Council’s social services and as a register office for marriages and civil partnerships.
In 2009, local residents expressed interest in converting the building into a heritage centre because it needed refurbishment.
In March 2020, the town hall, along with the Atkinson Art Gallery and Library and Bootle Town Hall, hosted A Nightingale’s Song, a video projection as part of Sefton’s Borough of Culture celebrations.
