Originally built by public subscription as a library and
newsroom. The assembly Room on the upper floor was added later. It became the
county court building and this is the name by which it is best remembered.
When
the county court moved to the new combined courts building, this building was
put on the market and became a night club, called Chancellors, and currently
goes under the name of Walkabout.
The main court room furniture was given by the
purchasers to Wolverhampton Law School, at the University, where it was
reassembled as a moot court. |
This view of the rear of the building
shows that the assembly rooms, added on top of the then existing
building, is held up on four thin cast iron columns. |
