The Civic Offices was built approximately 30 years ago and sits next to the River Avon. Although the Council has just one painting in its collection it has a large number of artefacts and other material collected throughout its long history (the first mayor was appointed in 1297), and long association with its twinning towns that span the world. Much of the collection is on display.
