Spring Hill Library


Spring Hill Library is a red brick and terracotta Victorian building in Ladywood, Birmingham, England.
Designed in 1891 by Frederick Martin of Martin & Chamberlain with a clock tower on the corner of Icknield Street and Spring Hill and opened on 7 January 1893, it now stands next to a roundabout and linked via a glazed atrium to a new Tesco superstore. The site was previously the location for the turnpike gate house for Icknield Street.
Still in use as a Birmingham branch library, is a Grade II* listed building.
In January 2014, the city council chose Spring Hill as one of four community libraries for future closure as part of its cuts program.
