Description: | C1927.
Image shows the interior of Pudsey County Library where several people can be seen browsing the free-standing shelves. The library opened in a basement room of the Town Hall on the 7th March 1927, and the Mayor of Pudsey officiated, Councillor Simeon Myers. The plaque on the end of the bookshelf in the foreground commemorates the occasion. The Town Hall site was purchased for ?14,000 and occupies a central position at the corner of Lowtown top. When the Library first opened it was on an adults only part-time basis, but later the room was extended and Children's books provided. The borough Librarian at this time, and for many years, was Mrs Zilpah Wardman. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Library Mayor Town Hall Lowtown | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
