Newport Civic Centre and Crown Court
This building had three distinct phases of construction.
On the 14th July 1937, just two months after the coronation, King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth, used a silver spade to cut the first sod for a new Civic Centre. This was the building in the rear which, minus the clock tower, was opened in 1940.
Due to the war, work on the clock tower had to be suspended and it was not until September 1963 that the Council, not without controversy, agreed to continue with this work.
Later, towards the end of the 20th century, a building to house the Crown Court was constructed in front of the original building.

Newport: Civic Centre
One of the most prominent buildings in the city, I am surprised it has lasted this long without being represented on this website!

Newport Civic Centre (1987)
Changes since this photo was taken are that the area in front of the buildings is now a car park and that Newport Crown Court occupies the area to the left in front of the clock tower. For a later picture see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5678041 .
