Since 1891, St Alban's has served South Norwood and Thornton Heath; areas that began to develop with the coming of the railways. The church was built by the community and is still serving the community. The building design altered considerably from start to finish and a small exhibition will give examples of the various suggestions.

John Ninian Comper (1864-1960), 1891

First opened in 1903, Stanley Arts continues its building's legacy as a beacon for the local community. This Grade II listed Edwardian theatre, gallery, and public hall reflects its founder's interest in the arts and sciences. The historic features of the building are sometimes hidden, other times flaunted. Our Open House tours cover everything past and present about this storied institution.

William Ford Robinson Stanley, 1903
