The new Municipal buildings (as they were referred to) date back to 1908 and include a Police Station, Magistrates Court, Fire Station and swimming baths. It is still the only purpose-built building for all such services. Designed by Liddle and Brown of Newcastle the buildings are still in use today by North Tyneside Council.

The Baroque style building is bright red brick with ashlar plinth and dressings with a Welsh slate roof with a copper cornet turret roof. The two storey building also has a round-headed double door and balustrade balcony with the Borough arms in a panel above.

For many years Wallsend’s councillors had no official home meeting in a number of different venues. From 1901 they met at the Masonic Hall and as the borough’s responsibilities grew the need for a permanent home increased.

William Boyd, the former Mayor, laid the foundation stone in 1907. The opening ceremony in September 1908 was presided over by Alderman George Allan and the Mayor’s daughter, Miss Stephenson, set going a bracket clock which had been the gift of William Boyd. The total cost of the buildings and fittings of the new Town Hall was £15,557.12s.10d.

The Chamber has nine stained glass windows each of which has two heraldic shields of local associations and interest. All of the designs are connected in some way to Wallsend including one for William Boyd, one for the Arms of the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the town and one of Wallsend’s Gas or “C” Pit.
