Broadway Library — now demolished
BROADWAY Library is reduced to a pile of rubble as the bulldozers move in.
The work marks the final chapter in the history of the building which opened in 1954 to celebrate the Queen’s coronation.
It closed in May as part of budget cuts, despite a campaign to save it.
The council believes the cleared site will be more attractive to developers.
