Lost in the Great Fire. In 1670 a second hall was built on the same site. This was pulled down in 1867 so that a smaller Hall could be built and the remainder of the land was sold to the Corporation for an extension to Guildhall. the third Hall was lost in WW2 on 29 December 1940. In 1957 this site too was sold to the Corporation and the current Hall was purchased, a late 17th century merchant's house at 13 Devonshire Square.
Our picture shows the second Hall being used for the drawing of the state lottery in 1809.
