Tyldesley Library Updates

Found some stunning work. After removing the plywood panelling to expose a beautiful leaded light.

Before ( First Picture ) After ( Second Picture )

As you can see, the building was “built to last” with what appears to be heavy-duty cast-iron roof.

Tyldesley Library Updates

Sterling Services Liverpool have been appointed to repair Tyldesley Library.

Sterling Services are keen to let us document their progress but due to H&S, we need to wait a few more weeks until they will let Haydn in with his camera.
