Burley Branch Library

Leeds, United Kingdom · built 1926

The Burley Branch Library was open on Cardigan Road, Burley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, between 1926 and 2016. It was established on vacant industrial land adjacent to a printing works and railway depot by Leeds City Council, and was majority financed by Carnegie. It is built to a design by Gilbert Burdett Howcroft. The Council closed the library in February 2016 due to its poor condition and being surplus to operational requirements. The building was listed at Grade II in 2017 and remains awaiting redevelopment.
