VILLAGE IN PICTURES<br />

IN LIMBO<br />

Completed in 1935, Hornsey Town Hall was<br />

designed by Reginald Uren and was the first major<br />

modernist building constructed in the UK. It<br />

was a thriving centre of local administration<br />

until the London Government Act 1963 came into<br />

effect and the newly-formed Haringey Council<br />

moved its headquarters to Wood Green. While the<br />

town hall remained in use, the assembly hall<br />

was closed in 1987 and by 2004 the building<br />

was largely derelict. In 2015 ANA Arts Projects<br />

brought life back to the building, opening it up<br />

as the community-facing Hornsey Town Hall Arts<br />

Centre. Their lease ends this summer when a new<br />

management team will take over as the building<br />

and grounds undergo redevelopment. These<br />

pictures, by photographer Dan Bridge, capture<br />

the moment prior to the changing of the guard<br />

– a building caught in limbo, awaiting the next<br />

stage in its history.<br />
