Stoke Newington Library External Remedial Works

Description

Stoke Newington Library is a Grade 2 Listed building located on Church Street in the heart of Stoke Newington. First built in 1892 the library has been extended and renovated several times. The library is considered to be an excellent example of a late Victorian public library. Although structurally sound, the general condition of the building has deteriorated significantly in recent years, mainly due to rainwater ingress. The library was closed to the public in March 2024 because areas of the roof had collapsed and the windows and masonry had fallen into such a poor state of repair that the building was no longer safe. This project will repair the damage to the building's fabric, ensuring that it will remain in sustainably good condition in future years.
