Built in 1890, when Orpington was not much more than a sleepy main street settlement, the original Orpington Village Hall was given to the inhabitants of Orpington by the late Alfred Brown, Esq. It was placed under the administration of a Trust to be held for the welfare of the Village.
The ‘New Village Hall’ was eventually completed, after a hiatus of twenty years, in 1982 and continued to serve the local community. In 2008 the ‘New Village Hall’ was demolished to accommodate the multi-purpose (commercial and residential) complex we know and love today.
