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.
