Former town library, designed by local architect B J Francis and opened in 1906. Funding came from the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It closed in 2020, with a replacement opening the following year in the Town/Market Hall. Grade II listed - see https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2386.

One of a countless number of Carnegie libraries around the UK thanks to a true philanthopist, Andrew Carnegie.

The stone is embedded in a corner of this http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2130363 library. The foundation records that the architect was from the town, but the builder was from Kidderminster. Observers of minutiae will notice that the tail of the Q in ESQUIRE is pointing the wrong way, and the 3 Ns in ABERGAVENNNY in the lower left corner. If these errors were detected at the time, I guess they were minor enough to be acceptable. Otherwise a new stone would have had to be used.

This OS cut mark can be found at the junction of Lewis's Lane & Baker Street on the OLD Police Station. It marks a point 63.115m above mean sea level.
