What an absolute gem the Town Hall is! It dominates the skyline like no other building in Stourbridge. It was built on the site of the former corn exchange to celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee and was opened in 1887 by Lord Beauchamp (Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire). The town hall was paid for by public subscription and cost £5000 to build! The Town Hall has hosted many productions and exhibitions over the years but many local people have particularly fond memories of the "Big Beat" sessions in the 1960's, promoted by Freddie Bannister, who in later years went on to promote major festivals such as Knebworth.
