You got it. Chatham Town Hall was the most expensive project announced by Chatham Town Council in the 19th century. The building work started in 1898, and was completed in January 1900. The new building provided offices for various council departments, as well as a council chamber. In the late 20th century Chatham Town Council was merged with neighbouring councils to form Medway Council, leaving the old Town Hall surplus to requirements. It was converted into a 400 seat theatre, and now goes by the name of the Brook Theatre. Keep an eye out for our next Postcard poser. Coming soon!:) Well done Bob Donkin! You got it.
