Description: | C1890s.
Black and white view of the Borough Courtroom in Morley Town Hall taken shortly after opening. The brass-railed, square shaped dock can be seen with the high backed form seating which obscured the view of the prisoner from the public gallery. The walls are panelled in oak to a height of ten feet and only natural light comes from above. The seats to be occupied by, the solicitors and Magistrates' Clerks are tip-up in design and are upholstered in red Morocco leather. The door on the right leads to the Magistrates Retiring Room which has a fireplace over which is a large mirror and chairs also upholstered in scarlet Morocco leather.
