This photo is for BBC Domesday Reloaded as a recreation of a 1986 photo http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-520000-183000/picture/1. In 1986 the library was being redeveloped. A large new library centre was built behind, see Image The main visual difference between the two photos is that the former front door has been blocked and is occupied by the orange and yellow sign for the library centre - there is a new door at the back. The old library was built in 1894 and extended in 1907. It is still part of the library centre, and is now used by Brent Irish Advisory Centre. Brent Council are currently proposing to redevelop the library site again as part of cost saving measures.
