Burton Town Hall is pure late neo-Gothic. Wandering around its insides is like being in some Middle Ages castle complete with bosses and stone arches and wide, echoey stairwells. Bit crazy really.
Of course, it’s all mocked up: the Victorians just loved a bit of medievalism, no matter how fake. (It was built in 1894).
But – I like it. It’s a bit of escapism.
