Abstract:		 Allen Archaeology Limited (AAL) was commissioned by Keyworker Homes Limited to undertake a programme of photographic building recording as a condition of planning consent for partial demolition of existing buildings for residential and retail development at the former Council Offices, Garstang Business and Community Centre, 96 High Street in Garstang, Lancashire The Council office was built in 1913 where it became part of the town expanding further north. This part of town remained relatively underdeveloped until the post war period, when in the 1960s the offices were further expanded to the east. The original and former district council office follows a polite architectural style, built in brick and stretcher bond with shaped stone surround to each opening. The west-facing façade poses five string courses and four sets of paired, horned sash window with classic pediments an ornate portico and raised parapet with datestone '1913'. The double pitched and slated roof has been modified as the former gable chimneys have been removed. A potential later east wing in corresponding polite architectural style has an M-shaped roof and leaded glass window to the north. A further brick extension was built to the east in the 1960s. The original building has retained a large portion of its internal architectural features, such as cornices, architraves and skirting boards, but all fireplaces have been blocked. The east wing retains very little of its original internal features and the 1960s extension contains unremarkable The original building fronting the High Street has retained a relatively large amount of its original features both externally and internally, whereas the east wing appears to have lost most of its internal architectural features, apart from the dog-legged staircase and leaded north window. The latest 1960s extension to the east is a modern, utilitarian building with no features of note.
