The new entrance wing is under construction on the Spinningfield elevation of the John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester. The steel framework and pre-cast concrete coffered ceiling have been erected to first-floor level. Also shown are site cabins and scaffolding to the Spinningfield elevation of the 1890s building. In the background are the new Manchester City Magistrates Court and Coroners Court. Construction and restoration work is being undertaken by Linford Building Ltd, successors to the firm who worked on the original Library building in the 1890s. Architect: Austin-Smith: Lord.
