IN 2010 Monmouth's Shire Hall was re-opened after a £4.5 million restoration.
Leading the official re-opening was the Princess Royal who walked through the town, greeted local school children and unveiled a plaque.
The Grade I listed building, which dates back to 1724, had a full refurbishment including the famous court rooms where members of the Chartist movement were tried in 1840.
