Devonport Guildhall
Devonport Guildhall, Plymouth, was started in 1821 and completed in 1824. It is a regency building in the Greek Doric style, designed by John Foulston as part of the municipal centre of the town of Devonport.
It was home to the magistrates court and the Mayors parlour and also was used for social events. There were cells and a mortuary, and a police station at the rear of the building.
The building fell into disrepair when the three towns of Plymouth, Devonport and Stonehouse amalgamated and municipal functions were transferred to Plymouth. It was refurbished in 1986 and 2009.The building re-opened in 2010.
