The Fenny Stratford Urban District Council was founded in 1895 and the foundation stone for their offices, at the junction of Queensway (to the left), Victoria Road (ahead), and Vicarage Road (to the right), was laid in 1903. In 1911 the body became Bletchley Urban District Council before that too disappeared in 1974 following the major reorganization of local government as a result of the Local Government Act of 1972. In 1974 the council became part of the District Authority and Borough of Milton Keynes. A later use of the building has been as a Masonic centre, but the building currently appears to be available for renting.
