Hi Octavia60

Where would the 'Alexandra Road' building be?  Did a search but many Alexandra Roads up for development, do you have the full address? ??? ???

Reading Octavia60's previous posts, I assume the Alexandra Road is in Swansea.

Many apologies for my error  :-[     I had meant to add this onto my previous post re the new Swansea Library at County Hall in Oystermouth Road.    There seemed to be a little discussion developing about the new library and BevBee mentioned loving the old building so tagged my comment on to hers.   I hadn't bargained for other people to be interested in Alexandra Road, Swansea where the old library was situated.   :-[    Very sorry but I am a 'newbie' on this board and got a bit carried away!

Hey Octavia

NP not an error just an omission - we dont make mistakes here ;D !

It was just me being nosey interested - welcome to Rootschat by the way! :D

Hope the old Library still stands - sounds like quite a few people loved it!

Hi,

Don't worry, the old library is being taken over by Swansea Metropolitan University (the Institute as it was) and, as I understand it, they can't change the interior because, as you say, it is listed. They have to work around whatever is already part of the fixtures and fittings.
