Beneath what were discovered to be modern plastic signs saying "1827" and "Town Hall" the Builders found this beautifully carved sandstone sign on which can just be made out the word "BATHS". This is from the building's original designation as the "Baths' Hall". The Trust plans to have this sign renovated to be displayed in future.
Feedback from users of the Town Hall indicates that work undertaken/insulation installed is already making it feel a more naturally warm place, which is delightful news. Also, the new double-glazed roof windows in the Library are making it a much lighter room.
From other photographs taken at Moffat Producers' Market on 12th May, you can see how, internally, the area of the stage has been "walled" off to allow the beam above it to be replaced (already completed) and other remedial works to take place:
