Wesley House, Leatherhead
Wesley House, formerly the Council Offices, is a former municipal building on Bull Hill, Leatherhead, Surrey, England. The building, which was the headquarters of Leatherhead Urban District Council, is a Grade II listed building. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the development of family-based manufacturing firms, the area became an urban district in 1894. Civic leaders initially established themselves in offices in Church Street. However, as the responsibilities of local authorities increased, the council decided to procure purpose-built council offices: the site they selected on Bull Hill was occupied by an 18th century building known as "Kingston House". The works began with the demolition of Kingston House which took place in 1933. The new building was designed by C. H. Rose and H. R. Gardner in the neoclassical style and built in red brick with stone dressings. At its official opening in May 1935, Viscount Wakefield unveiled a plaq ...
