History
The foundation stone was laid on August 7, 1931, with the official opening taking place on June 7, 1932 by the Lord Mayor of London Sir Maurice Jenks. It has since served as the council chamber for local government proceedings following the 1974 municipal merger.

Practical
The building is accessible to the public during official council meetings and special civic events, though access may vary depending on the scheduled activities. It is advisable to check beforehand whether the town hall is open to visitors, as regular access times can differ.
