Spring Hill Library, Hockley Birmingham
The foundation stone for this library was laid in April 1891. The library was designed by the Birmingham architects Martin & Chamberlain and built by Sapcote & Sons at a cost (including fittings) of £5,996. It is constructed of red brick and terracotta with a clock tower 65 feet high. The interior vaulted space is 48 by 43 feet with a gallery running along two sides. Well worth a visit.

Spring Hill Library: the setting
Looking satanic in the shadow of a block of flats, this riveting building is surrounded on two sides by a supermarket and on the other two sides by wide, busy roads and street furniture. This is the view across A4540 Icknield Street. This east frontage waits to be photographed in better light, perhaps earlier in the day. There is an image in Bill Dargue's History of Birmingham Places and Placenames http://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-s/spring-hill/ For a well-lit view of the south side and a description see http://www.geograph.org.uk/p/2667079

Dereliction on Icknield Street, Birmingham
This 2008 view shows a well known row of derelict shops situated at the junction of Warstone Lane and Icknield Street. The official address of the New Rimini Cafe was 114 Icknield Street (ref: The National Archives 99/00461). The shops to the right included a sports shop, newsagent and a Chinese takeaway. (ref: The National Archives AA99/02967)
The entire row of shops shown here has since been demolished to make way for a new mixed use development. Despite the historical significance of these former back to back houses, no attempt was made to save them.
