Town Trust and Civic Buildings of Uer Aldwon
The early town affairs were run by the Town Trust formed in 1871, similar to a municipal council. The first chairman was D. H. Beatt, with the mayor title introduced for G. Bastan. Fire gutted the Eleanor Street council offices in 1913, leading to rebuilds and later expansion plans as the council seeks more space for its growing program and loan driven improvements.
