Watford Town Hall, where the majority of the LOTR score was recorded, has just been closed down for refurbishment, and is not scheduled to re-open for another year or so. Sven was on hand today to give us our last look at the inside until the work is complete.

I haven't been back to Watford since 2003, but it's already apparent from these pictures that it'll be quite a different place after its reworking. Those of you looking for a reference point should check out the Making Of docs on the DVDs, or any of Ben Ealovega's wonderful black and white photography in the Complete Recordings booklets.
