In 1834 bouwde William Hill & Son een nieuw orgel voor de Town Hall in Birmingham (Warwickshire). Het is later diverse malen gerestaureerd, omgebouwd en uitgebreid. Het pedaalklavier is radiaal concaaf, de frontpijpen zijn gedecoreerd, de tractuur is elektro-pneumatisch en de windladen zijn kegelladen. Een tongwerk op het pedaal is als unit uitgevoerd. Deze is gemarkeerd met A.
