The main entrance to the Edwardian building, taken during building works in 2010 which improved access to the old building but at the cost of adding a much-disliked modern concrete box entrance to the side of this. The crowning glory of the new entrance is the word "Library" in vast, disproportionate concrete letters. I dislike it so much I'll leave it to someone else to record that part of the building.
