Chester Library was originally located in St John Street and moved to its new location in Northgate Street in the 1980's. This building was designed in 1913 by the Scottish architect Philip H Lockwood for the Westminster Coach and Motor Car Works, serving as a coachbuilders and motor showroom. From 1973-79 it housed an arts centre, 'The Chester Arts & Recreation Trust'. When the building was converted to house the library the original facade seen here was retained.
