West Ham Court House, West Ham Lane E15 - Newham

The first Court House of 1884, to the design of Lewis Angell, was extended symmetrically in 1905. Once vacated in the 1980s, it suffered from theft, vandalism and decay, as well as fire damage in 2014, resulting in the loss of much of the historic interior. The Local Authority undertook works to stabilise the surviving walls and to protect the site in 2019 with completion in early 2020 with partial grant funding from Historic England. The building has been mothballed and is monitored. The Local Authority is committed to exploring its long-term future, in discussion with Historic England.
