To celebrate Victoria's Jubilee
Trowbridge Town Hall was originally built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887. The wealthy local clothier (Sir) Roger Brown funded the work with his own money, employing Albert Goodridge to design it. With much celebration, the hall was opened on 14th June 1889 by the Duchess of Albany, daughter-in-law of Queen Victoria.
See Image] for a look at the elegant, if controversial, styling of the tower - Pevsner thought it “wild Franco-Elizabethan”!

The shorthand for which he is best remembered first came about in 1837 which lead to his knighting in 1897.
