Abstract:		 In September 2010 a programme of historic building recording was carried out on Victoria Works and Leyton Hall, Amenbury Lane, Harpenden, prior to refurbishment and conversion to a restaurant and function room respectively. The Victoria Works was constructed as the White Palace cinema in 1913. In 1934 it became either a knitted goods factory or a garage/workshop: information is conflicting on this point. More recently, the building was occupied by Hunton Bridge Engineering. The building is constructed of brick, under a slate roof carried on riveted iron trusses. The main entrance was to the north, with exit doors to the former passage to the west. The auditorium occupies much of the interior. At the south end, a small balcony is reached by stairs from the auditorium: above and to the west is the projection room, which has a fireproof concrete floor and ceiling, and a steel entrance door. Leyton Hall was built in 1934, and has seen use as a dancing school and auction rooms. In 1950 it was converted for light industrial use. The building is of brick construction, with internal piers supporting trusses similar to those in Victoria Works, but with a roof of moulded asbestos sheeting. Internally a central foyer on the north side, flanked by cloakrooms, leads to the central hall, which is overlooked to the north and south by balconies. Each balcony has a stairway from the hall, and a fire escape ladder to one of the rooms beneath. To the rear is a modern single-storey extension. Permission for the construction of the single-storey link building was granted in 1956. It comprises three rooms beneath a flat roof, with toilets extending to the rear of Victoria Works.
