History

In 1957 work commenced on the construction of a new building for the Court’s use.  Originally, it had been planned to demolish the Mint and to construct the building there.  That plan did not proceed.  Instead, the building was located behind the Mint building and adjacent to the Registrar General’s premises in the Prince Albert Road.  That building still survives, and has for many years been known as the Hospital Road Courts.
