The Town Hall    Calverley Road  Tunbridge Wells  
Tunbridge Wells' Town Hall was opened in March 1941 by wartime mayor Charles Westbrook. It was designed by architects Percy Thomas and Ernest Prestwich who had won a competition in 1934 for a neo-Georgian Civic Centre which incorporated the Town Hall, Assembly Hall, Police Station, Library and Museum. Building commenced in 1937.
It replaced the Decimus Burton buidings - Calverley Parade, Calverley Mews and Calverley Terrace - that the council had acquired in 1895
