Abstract: |
In November 2010 a programme of historic building recording was undertaken on two buildings at 96 Shenley Road, Borehamwood, prior to their demolition and replacement with a new community centre. Located on the Shenley Road frontage at the north end of the site, Borehamwood Village Hall is a single-storey structure of seven bays with contemporary extensions to the south-west and south-east, constructed between 1914 and 1934. It has a timber frame, set on brick footings, clad externally with corrugated iron sheeting and internally with wooden panelling. The main building houses the hall and stage, and the extensions contain a kitchen, toilets and storage rooms. The only embellishments are the proscenium arch, and the elaborate cast iron brackets forming part of each roof truss. The building appears to have undergone few changes throughout its long existence. To the south-east of the Village Hall is the former Nursery, a brick-built structure, partly of two storeys, under a tiled roof, constructed between 1935 and 1966. Its original function was as a cinema and entertainment venue, with a first-floor projection room above the entrance, and a central hall flanked by toilets and other rooms. Its subsequent use as a children's nursery has required only minor alterations to the fabric of the building. |
