Description:
|
The Spinningfield elevation of the John Rylands Library, viewed from the south tower on the Deansgate elevation. The view shows the new roof being constructed on top of the existing shallow-pitched concrete roof; modifications to the clerestory, which will be spanned by the roof; new lead covering the roofs over the oriel windows; and the temporary covering over the Spinningfield transept, whose roof is being rebuilt. In the background is the new entrance building, erected to first-floor level. 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.
