Acton Town Hall

[1] The facility was commissioned to replace an existing 19th century town hall in the High Street, which had been designed by Edward Monson in the Italianate style for the local board of health.

[5] A separate structure, now known as the "King's Rooms Building", was designed by William Leicester and built further to the east along the High Street: it opened in 1926.

[4] The assembly hall continued to serve as an events and concert venue and performers included the band, The Who, in September 1962.

[7] The town hall ceased to function as the local of seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Ealing was formed in 1965.

[10] The concert, a fundraiser for the FBU, was one of Joe Strummer's final gigs before his death later that year, as well as the last time he performed with former bandmate Mick Jones, who joined him for the encore.
