A photograph of Luton's Carnegie Library not long after it had opened in 1910. A gift of American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, it stood on the corner of George Street and Williamson Street until 1962. To lose this building was a sad loss if not a crime. And what would the steel magnate make of such an act? © Digital Photographic Images TECHNICAL DATA Date: c.1912 Source: Real Photo Postcard Maximum Size: 4581x2950 Pixels Maximum File Size: 1.03 Mb Format: JPEG

The Scottish-born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donated £3,000 towards the construction of Stourbridge Library, a classic example of the High Victorian style. It was designed by Frederick Woodward, surveyor to the Urban District Council. The clock tower further along Hagley Road was not added until later. It was erected in memory of Isaac Nash who was a key figure in the library's conception. He laid the foundation stone in February 1904. This photograph also affords valuable glimpses of how both Church Street and Hagley Road looked during this period. © Digital Photographic Images TECHNICAL DATA Date: c.1914 Source: Real Photo Postcard Maximum Size: 2160x1440 Pixels Maximum File Size: 1.36 Mb Format: JPEG
