In 1919 the council decided to convert Stubylee Hall, the former home of the late Mr James Maden Holt, into municipal offices. By 1920 most of the municipal offices had been transferred to Stubylee.

 

In 1885 Councillor James Smith Sutcliffe J.P. presented the Mayoral chain to the borough and in the same year the Mayoral robe was presented by Councillor Miles Ashworth. A new mayors robe was presented in 1953  to replace the  old one. The Mayoral chain was a gift to the borough by Mr J.T.Hoyle J.P.C.C during his mayoralty in 1922.
