This Aerial shot shows the library in all its splendour. It's a lovely building.
I find it hard to believe that next to the library ,where the car park is, that there were 2 swimming pools. It doesn't look a big enough space! In the distance is the magnificent tower of St Georges Church.
Excellent view... the library is a stunning building.. as was the old baths... love the view over the roof tops to St. Georges as well Nancy.. Great photo..
ReplyDeleteI always loved the library and swimming baths, both such beautiful buildings. Obviously I have read that, sadly, the swimming baths were knocked down and it seems like a leisure centre was built elsewhere:( The old swimming baths in Glossop are just beautiful, why couldn't Hyde have done something similar or was it just too costly:( Is the Library still a functioning Library? Wonder how long it will be before they knock this down as well!
ReplyDeleteThe library has recently had a huge makeover so it looks like it's here for the time being,thankfully .... I shall personally chain myself to the railings if they try to demolish it!
