View of the interior of Otley mechanics Institute showing the public library. The Mechanics Institute was built was built in 1870 on the North side of Cross Green and is now Grade II listed. In 1957 the building was gifted to Otley Council. This photograph most likely dates from the 1930s and there are heavy bookcases containing fiction arranged alphabetically by author. In 1959 a building was converted in Boroughgate to house Otley County Library. The library moved again in 2006 to purpose built accommodation. Prior to 1974 the service was run by West Riding County Council but is now under the administration of Leeds City Council. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | West Riding County Council library Cross Green Otley Mechanics Institute | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
