Since 1972 this building has been used by the Providence Independent Methodists as their place of worship. It was originally built in 1869 for Nicholas England, a local cotton manufacturer. In 1907 it was converted and became a Carnegie Public Library. It typifies some of the fine buildings in Colne that show its cotton manufacturing background. To the left of this picture is a memorial to Wallace Henry Hartley who was born in Colne on 2nd June 1878. He was the bandmaster on the Titanic.
