"...the town halls of Victoria's reign.... grew up to fulfil the needs of the rapidly developed towns... In them new wealth, new patrons and a new language of architecture opened the door to a rich and sometimes strange variety of buildings" (Cunningham 1).
"The Town Hall itself must astonish many a Londoner, unaccustomed as yet to the idea of a great municipal organisatiom, when he beholds it for the first time" (about Manchester Town Hall, Dolman 38).
