The 'Old Town Hall' has dominated the centre of St Albans since 1832. This short account is the first, and reveals hitherto unknown details about its design, construction and fabric. It looks at how the justices, local government and society used the building and how this changed over time. It describes the architectural development of the building from its neo-Classical origins to the present day, when the role of the building is set to change once again The book is fully illustrated with the plans of the original architect George Smith, isometric reconstructions of Smith's designs, and drawings of architectural details. There are illustrations of the town hall and related buildings and drawings/political commentaries by the St Albans artist JH Buckingham.
