Filey Town Council Offices

Filey Town Council Offices is a municipal building in Filey, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building lies on Queen Street. It was constructed between 1897 and 1898,^[1] to house the offices of Filey Urban District Council. It comprised a central block, with the council offices; a caretakers' house to the right; and a fire station to the left. The fire station relocated in 1935. During the Second World War, the building was used by the Ministry of Food, and an air raid siren was fitted to the tower. After the war, the building was used for other purposes. In 1993, Filey Town Council relocated to the building, which it uses as its headquarters.^[2]

The building is constructed of brick, with a tile roof and a stone doorcase. It has a bell tower which Nikolaus Pevsner describes as "pretty", although he describes the building overall as "unremarkable".^[1]
