Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The 'Before' picture "The History Shop" on the corner of Library Street and Rodney Street, just before restoration and refurbishment work began. Built in 1878 as Wigan's Free Public Library, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, who is most famous for the Natural History Museum in London. He also designed many prominent buildings in the region, including Liverpool University's Victoria building, of similar red brick to this - because of which the new generation of young Universities soon became tagged as 'red-brick universities'. Manchester Town Hall was another of Waterhouse's designs. Among his earliest public works are the set of Cemetery buildings less than a mile away on Warrington Road, Lower Ince. Sadly, the 1855/56 chapels there are being allowed to decay by the same Council which boasts of their care of this building.... All are Grade 2 Listed. |
