Waltham Forest Town Hall

Waltham Forest Town Hall (formerly Walthamstow Town Hall) is a municipal building located in Walthamstow, East London. The town hall, which is the headquarters of Waltham Forest London Borough Council, is a Grade II Listed Building. History The first civic building in the area was a single storey public hall in Orford Road, Walthamstow, which probably dated back to the first half of the 19th century. This was demolished and replaced by an Italianate style town hall in Orford Road in 1866. After the area became an urban district in 1895 and then a municipal borough in 1929, civic leaders decided to procure a purpose-built town hall: the site chosen for the new building had previously been occupied by Chestnuts Farm, also known as Clay Farm. They decided that the new town hall would be flanked to the south east by an assembly hall which would be built in the same architectural style and at the same time as the town hall. The foundation stone for the new building, in which contemporary artifacts were placed, was laid in 1938. The building was designed by Philip Dalton Hepworth in the stripped classical style. Construction of the building, which was built of Portland stone, was interrupted by the Second World War and not completed until 1942. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with 19 bays facing onto Forest Road with the end bays projecting forwards; the central section featured a three-bay full-height portico with piers supporting a frieze above containing the words "Walthamstow Town Hall"; there was a tall copper-clad clock tower at roof level. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber which projected to the rear of the building: five statues carved by John Francis Kavanagh were installed on the external walls of the council chamber and six relief sculptures, also by Kavanagh, were erected on the portico piers. The assembly hall, which was also completed in 1942, was used as a British Restaurant during the Second World War. The town hall continued to serve as the local seat of government after the expanded Waltham Forest London Borough Council was formed in 1965. The assembly hall hosted a concert performance by Yehudi Menuhin in January 1960 and by Plácido Domingo in July 1974. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the town hall and had lunch with civic officials in March 2012. The building also hosted the Antiques Roadshow in December 2014 and, again, in January 2015. The council approved an extensive programme of renovation works to the town hall and the assembly hall in October 2019; the works authorised also included improved landscaping with water jets, night-time illumination and a reflection pool. The renovation of the town hall was completed in 2021 with further changes including the creation of Fellowship Square and the Queen Elizabeth II memorial garden at the rear with a copy of The Arch by Henry Moore.

Waltham Forest Town Hall

L'Hôtel de Ville de Waltham Forest (anciennement Walthamstow Town Hall) est un hôtel de Ville situé à Walthamstow, à l'Est de Londres. Le bâtiment est de style Art Déco, achevé en 1941. L'hôtel de Ville est construit en pierre de Portland et influencé par les bâtiments suédois de l'entre-deux-guerres. Bien qu'il dispose maintenant du statut de Monument Classé de Grade II, il n'est pas figé dans le temps. Il joue un rôle important pour la population de l'arrondissement. Il a par exemple accueilli des concerts d'artistes célèbres, tels que Placido Domingo et Yehudi Menuhin. Architecture En 1929, l'arrondissement municipal nouvellement créé de Walthamstow a lancé un concours d'architecture pour son siège. La compétition a été remportée en 1932 par Philip Dalton Hepworth, qui a étudié à Londres, à Paris et à Rome, mais est également influencé par le Classicisme nordique suédois, avec des détails art déco. En 1965, à la suite de la fusion des trois anciens arrondissements municipaux de Walthamstow, Leyton et Chingford pour créer l'actuel borough de Waltham Forest, l'hôtel de ville continue à servir comme quartier général du nouveau conseil. Salle de l'Assemblée Ce bâtiment de style art déco, situé dans le complexe, est utilisé pour des mariages, des conférences, des bals, des concerts, des expositions et d'autres événements majeurs.

Westhorpe House is a 31,937 square feet (2,967.0 m2) Grade II listed building near Little Marlow which was the home of Maria Nugent and Field marshal Sir George Nugent. The Main House is 20,535 square feet (1,907.8 m2) and the Coach House is 4,027 square feet (374.1 m2). History The house was built for James Chase MP in the classical style in about 1700. It became the home of Dr. Isaac Maddox, Bishop of Worcester, and then of Everard Fawkener, Postmaster General, and later of Alexander Wynch, Governor of Madras, during the 18th century. It was bought by Field marshal Sir George Nugent in October 1809. George and his wife Maria Nugent moved in 1815. Mary would die here in 1824 and she was buried in Little Marlow's church. It passed to George Jackson, a landowner, in 1863 and later to Major Herbert Gordon, an officer in the 93rd Highlanders, who was still living there in 1925.
