The West Ham court house, also know as West ham Magistrates’ or West ham Police and Coroner’s court, is\u00a0a Yellow brick Victorian era Italianate Court house built in 1884 and officially opened in 1885. The complex of buildings were designed by the Borough Architect & Engineer Lewis Angell. West Ham court house\u00a0was later extended by John Morley in 1901 and\u00a0included a new frontage.<\/p>\n

Due to a new court house being built within the Stratford area, the older West Ham court house was phased out and vacated circa 2010. The buildings were granted\u00a0Grade 2 listed status during\u00a0the 1980’s as being a historical building. Unfortunately,\u00a0a\u00a0in December 2013 gutted\u00a0court room 2 and destroyed\u00a0the upper floors; 2014 saw emergency\u00a0conservation work such as scaffolding holding up court room 1 and a temporary roof to prevent further decay to the buildings.<\/p>\n
