The Wider Urban Context:

Site ContextHistorical Context:

- 1896

1897 - 1944

The existing T&RA Hall currently occupies the site of the old Rotherhithe Town Hall. The building was built on the site in 1897 but ceased to be a town hall in 1905 when the former Rotherhithe Council merged with the old Bermondsey Borough Council.

The old Rotherhithe Town Hall was converted to use as a library and museum, until it was razed to the ground by repeated bomb hits and near misses in 1944, during the Second World War.

The existing Assembly Hall was constructed sometime in the 1950’s or 1960s.
