Yeadon Town Hall


Yeadon Town Hall is a municipal building in Yeadon, West Yorkshire, England. It is Grade II listed.

History

Following a competition with more than 200 entries, and with a budget of £5,000, William Hill was chosen to design the building in the French Gothic style. It was built with two storeys, with a two-stage clock tower at the centre of the main frontage, between 1889 and 1890. The town hall was transferred from Yeadon Urban District Council to Aireborough Urban District Council in 1937 and to Leeds City Council in 1974.
The building was used as a registrar's office in the Yorkshire Television programme The Beiderbecke Tapes in 1985. The main hall, which seats up to 560 people, was renovated in 1999.
On 1 April 2019, the management of the venue was taken over by local theatre producer, Jamie Hudson, who created a "Community Interest Company" in order to restore, refurbish and manage the building. Large portions of the building have been refurbished, including the restoration of a theatre bar on the first floor.
