The "lavish" Wallasey Town Hall has had its listed status upgraded to conserve it for future generations.
Previously listed as Grade II meaning it was of special interest, this was recently upgraded to Grade II*, acknowledging its increased importance.
The town hall is located in Seacombe, overlooking the River Mersey towards Liverpool. It has been closed to the general public since 2020 but was used until the start of this month for Wirral Council meetings.
