THE first recorded town hall in Liverpool was in 1515 and it was probably a thatched building, it was replaced in 1673 by a building slightly to the south of the present town hall. This town hall stood on “pillars and arches of hewen stone” and under it was the exchange for merchants and traders to carry out their business.
