The '''Old Town Hall''' is a historic building in [[Handsworth, West Midlands]], a suburb of [[Birmingham, West Midlands|Birmingham]] in England.
The [[cruck-framed]] building was constructed in about 1460, as a house. In 1625, it was divided into three cottages, with a floor inserted in the building's hall, and the walls infilled with brick. Part of the building housed the Overseer of the Parish, which led it to be used for local administration, and become known as the [[town hall]]. In 1911, Handsworth became part of Birmingham and this ceased. [[Birmingham City Council]] took over ownership of the property. In the 1930s, other similar cottages and barns in the area were cleared, but the Old Town Hall survived, and in 1947 it was redivided into two, larger, cottages.<ref>{{cite web |title=Handsworth Old Town Hall |url=https://birminghamheritage.org.uk/hndsworth.html |website=Birmingham Heritage Forum |access-date=30 April 2024}}</ref> It was [[grade II listed]] in 1972,<ref name="nhle">{{cite web |title=51, COLLEGE ROAD B20, 20, SLACK LANE B20 |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1075634?section=official-list-entry |website=National Heritage List for England |publisher=Historic England |access-date=30 April 2024}}</ref> and the following year, the Handsworth Historical Society began using one of the cottages as its headquarters.
