Crumpsall and Cheetham Hill Library

The Grade II listed building Link

on Cheetham Hill Road is in a sorry state of repair. It dates from 1909-11 and is by the City Architect Henry Price. The building itself is constructed of red brick and white limestone with dressings of the same in an Edwardian Baroque style. It also comprises three wide symmetrical bays embracing a central entrance lobby with projected porch. The roof is partly glazed with the main feature being a byzantine dome. The Library stock was moved in July 1974 to new accommodation in the Abraham Moss Centre. After serving as the Manchester Black Resource Centre, the building has been empty and unused since 2008. Link

It was sold at auction in 2015 for more than half a million pounds Link

but little seems to have happened to it since then.

Former library, Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester

A fine Edwardian Baroque affair by Henry Price, City Architect, in 1909-11. Grade II listed. It has now been disused for at least fifteen years. Satellite images show it to be roofless which is always a very bad sign.
