If you're a lover of old books, this might be up your alley. Go check out the old books in the…read moregallery, there are tons of old books there. I'm personally not a huge reader, but I'm sure this will be great for a book lover. When you go in, there are lockers on the side where you haven't got a choice but to lock your bags and jackets away. I was told pictures are allowed (though 1 said yes, the other said no, and had a quick discussion about it). The area that I did go into, was a bit smaller but still neat to look at, though I think there's a much bigger / lavish area. Also, I was told that there was a section which just looks beautiful (like the Harry Potter library, as he said!). There was a section where it looked like you can only enter with a keycard. It was really quiet in the library, and i really regret NOT asking, as I'm sure what was behind the door was this harry potter like reading room and library that I was looking for! Maybe if you ask nicely, you can take a peek? So, NO, i didn't get to see the room of these pics that I've posted up. Not sure how you get in there as I mentioned, it looked as if you need special permission to be in there. Apparently, there are lots of original works housed at this library, including plays. For a £25 membership, you can BORROW these original works. Kinda crazy!!! I'm giving it 5 stars, because, I know the beautiful room is hiding within, maybe another visitor can check it out and see if they've made it behind the doors to that beautiful library room?!

My dad and I came here for some lunch last week and it was a lovely quiet spot with a variety of…read morelunch options and cake. We both went for a panini and drinks. I was slightly disappointed at the food. I went for a mozzarella, pesto and roasted vegetables panini, but the pesto appeared to be from a jar and the roasted vegetables were red peppers in brine from a jar. I think I'd have been better sticking to the cakes, which looked delicious. The panini tasted fine, but it just could have been so much better! While we were eating a large school/college crowd came in on their lunch break and sat at one of the large tables, I suspect the cafe is near to the school. It wasn't too noisy, but just meant it got quite busy and there weren't many tables free, if you are looking to visit around that time. Anyway, food aside, the place is very quaint with nice key features around the place making up the decor. From the seating area you can see some rocking chairs which are replicas of historical chairs. Upstairs is a small library with computers to work at and also a section on the history of the area, which I enjoyed reading. Staff were very friendly and one volunteer stood talking to my dad about the area for some time, which was very nice. They also have a small area of things for sale, mostly kitchen items, but they were really nice and I would go back again just to pick up some of their nice tea towels and tote bags.

My fav library and cafe and coffee shop brilliant staff lovely food and drink it has inside and…read moreoutside seating area. Its just amazing place.
