Description
View of front elevation of Kensington Town Hall, Kensington High Street. After the council moved to Hornton Street in 1977, the old town hall closed and was partly-demolished on the instructions of the Leader of the council, Nicholas Freeman, "in controversial circumstances" involving an impending conservation order, in June 1982. Although demolition was temporarily halted, by the time that happened, the main frontage and the interior had been so badly damaged thay what remained had to be completely cleared in 1984.
