Summary

[edit]
Description

As I was heading to the Great Charles Street Queensway entrance of the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, I took a few close up shots of the Birmingham and Midland Institute from Margaret Street.


Before public libraries were provided there were private and subsciption libraries, of which there were several in Birmingham. The most important one, which subsequently became the Birmingham Library, was established in 1779. From 1797 until 1899 this library was in its own premises in Union Street, designed by William Hollins. It then moved to a new building, designed by Cossins & Peacock, on the corner of Margaret Street and Cornwall Street, now owned by the Birmingham and Midland Institute, and Grade II listed.
