从1841年起分阶段建造的前市政厅大楼是为了容纳民事和行政用途以及警察和法院的职能而设计的。它是在30多年前被它的主要占领者撤出的。自那时以来，由于当地的经济条件和建筑结构，特别是其复杂的内部布局、许多水平的变化和不良的流通路线，所有的改造尝试都失败了。这座建筑失修了，并被列入了一份有风险的遗产建筑的国家登记册上。

The former Town Hall building, built in phases from 1841 onwards, was designed to accommodate civic and administrative uses as well as police and courts functions. It was vacated by its main occupier over 30 years ago. Since then all attempts at conversion have failed, because of local economic conditions and the architecture of the building – notably its complex internal layout, many changes of level and poor circulation routes. The building fell into disrepair and was named on a national register of heritage buildings at risk.

客户需要一个解决方案，以挽救大楼，并启动市中心的重建工作。多屏幕影院和家庭餐厅-尽管具有挑战性-被视为实现这两个目标的手段。

The client required a solution which would save the building and kick-start the regeneration of the town centre. A multi-screen cinema and family restaurants – although challenging – was seen as the means of achieving both aims.

发展政策局的解决办法是尽可能节省尚存的建筑，并设计一个新的扩展-灯箱-在贫穷的建筑物(最初是后方)的立面上，解决所有的流通、水平变化和出入问题。所有幸存的重要遗产元素都已被保留和修复，包括三个古典灵感的石头高地和几个华丽的内部。在这座历史建筑的复杂的多层次信封内，有七块电影院的屏幕，其中一些位于原来的房间里，比如审判室和议会会议室。一个新的风景优美的步行广场提供通往电影院大厅下面的餐厅的通道。

BDP’s solution was to save as much as possible of the surviving structures and design a new extension – the light box – on the poor (originally the rear) elevation of the building, which solved all circulation, level changes and access issues. All surviving significant heritage elements have been retained and repaired, including three classically inspired stone elevations and several ornate interiors. Seven cinema screens are housed within the complex multi-levelled envelope of the historic building, some within original rooms such as the courtroom and council meeting room. A new landscaped pedestrian square provides access to restaurants located below the cinema concourse.

该计划成功地在一个历史悠久的城镇中心提供了现代化的电影院设施和急需的家庭娱乐，并挽救了一座具有里程碑意义的历史建筑。

The scheme has succeeded in providing a modern cinema facility and much needed family entertainment within an historic town centre, and in saving a landmark historic building.
