Felixstowe Town Hall
Felixstowe Town Hall is a fine red brick and tile Victorian building on Felixstowe’s seafront and was built in 1892 for the Felixstowe and Walton Joint Board. It became the main base for the subsequently formed Felixstowe Urban District Council and then the newly formed Felixstowe Town Council which was created upon Local Government re-organisation in 1974.
