Fullwell Cross: The Fullwell Cross Library

The distinctive circular Fullwell Cross Library with its green copper finish roof was designed by the architect Frederick Gibberd (1908-1984) and was opened in 1968. It comprises a single storey lower structure with narrow vertical windows topped with a higher lantern-like shell with 16 windows providing light to the centre of the main building. It is a Grade II Listed Building.

Gibberd was principally known for his design of Harlow New Town, but was also the architect of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and the London Central Mosque.

This is actually a view of the rear of the library across Craven Gardens.
