REMEMBER Bradford’s Central Library?

Schoolchildren and college students were among library-users who spent many an hour in there.

The landmark eight-storey building opened in 1967 - it was the first major post-war central library built in the UK.

In 2013 the library moved to City Park. Here are some photos from the T&A archive of how the old Central Library used to look.

Happy memories!
