Buildings in Victoria Street. Prominent in the centre is Trinity URC (see Image), built in 1903 to a design of Smee, Mence and Houchin Architects after the local Congregational Church congregation had outgrown the chapel in Spicer Street. Part of the cost was contributed by one of the deacons, Samuel Ryder, local businessman and later Mayor of St Albans and founder of the Ryder Cup golf competition (see Image). In 1981, while undergoing renovation and modernization, it suffered a serious fire, reducing it to a roofless shell. It was fully rebuilt.
