History
In the early 20th century Wallington Urban District Council was based at 37 Manor Road, the former offices of Wallington Parish Council.[2] The site chosen for the new building was "Sunny Bank", a house on Woodcote Road, Wallington, which was bought in 1929.[3]
The new building, which was designed by Robert Atkinson in the Georgian style, was opened on 21 September 1934.[3] It went on to become the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Beddington and Wallington when the area became a municipal borough in 1936.[4] It ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Sutton was formed in 1965.[5] After being used as the local registrar's office, it served as a courthouse from 1980 until 1999.[3] It was then converted for educational use and became part of Sutton College in October 2005.[6]
