The end of the chapter
Kingswood library was based here for many years but was closed on 18th March, 2019. According to the council, moving the books to part of the Civic Centre just up the road will save some £430,000 per annum. What will happen to the old library is not known, but selling it off could raise more funds for the cash-strapped council.

Sainsbury's took over the old boot and shoe factory, but kept the integral fabric. Hence the north-facing roofline keeps the original appearance.
