NOTES: In 1962 a new conference hall, designed by the architect Hulme Chadwick, was built over the central lightwell of Hamilton House, a building of 1914, from basement to first-floor level. The new hall included an entrance foyer, small gallery and projection room. The interior seen here was decorated with brilliantly coloured abstract murals by Keith Godwin, which run the full length of the aisle walls on both sides.
