This view from Laurie Square (or the Memorial Gardens as it is called on the postcard) was taken in about 1965 during construction of the new Central Library, which was built to replace the old Branch Library on the opposite side of the square.

In the middle of Laurie Square is the War Memorial.

To the left of the library you are looking up Park End Drive and to the right you can see part of the Town Hall.

Step back in time to see the same view in about 1921, or forwards in time to see a similar view of the completed library.
