Contextual Information

Up until 1908 the Oddfellow's Hall (now the Christmas 360 shop) had provided a venue for larger entertainment events. When it was converted into stores, a need became apparent for a town hall and one was proposed in 1909. It was built adjoining the existing municipal chambers, and the foundation stone was laid in August 1910.
