This housing development was built in 2015 on the site of Staffordshire County Library and Record (music) Library in Friars Terrace. The housing runs from the extreme left of the image to the extreme right. The library was built in the 1960's(?) as the headquarters of the library service which served those areas of Staffordshire outside of the boroughs for which there was no locally provided library service. Under local government re-organisation in 1974 libraries became a county function and the building became the headquarters of the Staffordshire library service. The housing was built by Stafford and Rural Homes (SARH), a housing association, and the successor to Stafford Borough housing.
