A chance to step into the past and visit the historic Willenhall Urban District Council Chamber, situated on the 1st floor of Willenhall library.

Willenhall Library is housed in the former Willenhall Town Hall, which was built in 1934 for Willenhall Urban District Council. When Willenhall became part of Walsall County Borough in 1966, the council chamber and the rest of the building were left redundant, until the library moved into the ground floor in 1969. This is your chance to explore part of the building not normally open to the public and to visit the perfectly preserved council chamber, complete with its original furniture and photographs of former Willenhall mayors.
