Pillgwenlly Library and Information Centre

Newport, United Kingdom

Pillgwenlly Library is a former library in Pillgwenlly, Newport, Wales. Built in 1889, it was designed by a local architect, Alfred Swash. The library was closed in the 21st century. An inscription on the building's tympanum (pediment) reads, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER". The phrase, originally attributed to Francis Bacon, inspired the opening line of the song A Design for Life by the Manic Street Preachers.
