Default Your town hall/main street

What I have always liked about DPS is the variety of images from around the world so I thought we could all show our town halls or main streets of where we live?

I'll start off with the Shire Hall at the top of Chelmsford's High Street.

BEG3M will take issue as this isn't the town hall but there has to be a bit of creative license!

I love the open feel of this shot. Nice old building too.

I live in a small town that used to be a mining town. Most of it now has been turned into casinos in an effort to try and save some of the historical buildings. Here is a shot I took a while ago of the county courthouse.

Nice one Andy, your Shire Hall is impressive, and I'll play if I may

This is my Town Hall at dawn,
its the bigger building on the right with the tower
Its more silhouette than detail but the file was on the hard drive from last winter and I like it

We no longer have a town Hall to speak of. We have a new Court House and office building that is pretty uninteresting. But we do have a lot of Historic buildings Downtown also. This is the Old Post office just down the street from me. I always think it looks so much prettier at nite.

Well, there's always the Cathedral?

because I should have moved to the right and got that in the shot as well - so BEG I task you to post a Cathedral shot for the sake of Chelmsford's honour!

I couldn't resist posting when I read this thread...

Palacio de Comunicaciones de Madrid

This is the 'Palacio de Comunicaciones' in Madrid, originally built to be used by the post office (bizarre!) and now used as a town hall/council headquarters type place. Unfortunately I don't have a decent close-up but this building is absolutely majestic!
