The Board of Education chamber with its purple
and orange wall. The large disc with its canopied Penny Farthing {a variation
on the design} attached to the chamber wall, or suspended from the ceiling. The
chair, with its “dazzled” paintwork, appears to be a nod to German
expressionist films of the 1920's. Then there’s the circle of green baize
topped tables. The chamber is entered through a pair of steel doors, much the
same with Number 2’s office.
The Board of Education chamber in ‘The
General’ looks as though it could double up for the Committee chamber in ‘A
Change of Mind,’ except there doesn’t appear to be the tall steps which lead
down from the foyer of the Town Hall as there are in both the Committee Council
chamber and the Council chamber. However if we take these three as separate
underground chambers, then three large pits much have been excavated under the
Town Hall during the construction of The Village. A fourth, if you include the
underground chamber below the Labour Exchange!
Be seeing you
