Former library, Briscoe Road
Recently converted for use as daycare for preschool-age children, this building served as the Holbrooks branch of Coventry City Libraries until 2003, when it was succeeded by the much larger Arena Park library at the nearby Arena Shopping Centre. For the last few decades of its life the left half of the building (its doors visible through the railings) was the entire open library with the right half of the building being used for storage and administration, but until the early 1970s the left half was the general library and the right half was the children's library.
