SJ8397 : Library Walk (Mount Street)
taken 11 years ago, near to Manchester, England

Manchester council have applied for an order to remove the public right of way from the walkway and halt public access with the stretch partly gated off between the hours of 10pm and 6am.
Council chiefs are installing a £3.5m glazed link part way along the passageway, connecting the newly revamped library and town hall, but they have safety concerns about keeping the paved corridor open to the public at night.
A new, glass bubble-like enclosure, which features a reflective metal roof, was designed by leading Manchester architect Ian Simpson and given planning approval in 2012 despite a controversial reception, including a petition signed by more than 1,400 people.
Campaign group Friends of Library Walk. who describe the walkway as a space of "significant architectural merit". are opposed to the proposals.

Manchester Central Library, which is the second-biggest public lending library in Britain (after Birmingham's), is a circular building, south of the extended Town Hall. The library was constructed between 1930 and 1934 but, because of its traditional neoclassical design, many people mistakenly believe that it is much older. The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome
The building, which was first opened by King George V on 17 July 1934, is a Grade II* listed building (English Heritage ID:457312 LinkBritish Listed Buildings). It re-opened in March 2014, after a four-year project to renovate and modernise its facilities (Link
