Lower Cross is the name given to the area around the junction of Duke Street (formerly Duck Street) straight ahead, High Street behind the camera and Bridge Street to the right. The Kington Centre (or library on the maps) was built in 1905 for The Old Radnor Lime, Roadstone and General Trading Company. The Grade II, two-storey building is of Classical design with balustraded parapet and modillioned cornice; the entrance is surmounted by a pediment, and the windows by segmental arches with keyblocks. The building is constructed of precast concrete made to resemble granite, with ashlar finish to the first floor.
