Lillington Library
Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 10 Sep 2023
This branch library in Lillington, a suburb of Leamington Spa, was built in 1959-60 to designs by Henry Fedeski, who also designed the Catholic church of Our Lady, which stands alongside it on Valley Road. Over the library are two flats, one intended for the librarian, who lived there with his family. The building superseded a library in the former police station on Cubbington Road, which was too small for the fast-growing suburb. Library and church are now listed buildings. The listing for the library can be found at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1420766?section=official-list-entry . It commends the building's 'lively, colourful Festival of Britain style'.
