1866 building edit

I presume this is now the Vestry House Museum - but which vestry? Jackiespeel (talk) 20:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The earlier town hall of 1866 is what used to be the Connaught Hospital, Walthamstow. The Vestry House Museum building is an earlier structure which dates back to 1730. Dormskirk (talk) 22:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
There is no mention on the Connaught Hospital page about the municipal functions of the building.
Some tweaking is necessary - on the Municipal Borough page the UD establishment date is 1894. So did the 1866 building serve as the offices of the Walthamstow Local Board from 1873 (from the Municipal Borough page infobox) and 'some other purpose 1866-73'?

I have renamed and expanded the article on the Old Town Hall, Walthamstow (also known as the Connaught Hospital, Walthamstow) and I hope things are clearer now. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 19:36, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
