A question about the Town Hall/the old Peel Institute building.

On the portico, either side of the front entrance, there are two circular niches, with decorative stone work above them, which look like they used to contain two roundels.

If you look closely, you can see two rusted hooks in each, which adds to the evidence they once had something attached to them.

Does anyone know, or remember if they did used to have something in them, and if so what were they?

Thanks.
