Ely Library Cardiff in PEVSNER ARCHITECTURAL GUIDES GLAMORGAN

 Ely Library gets a mention in the prestigious PEVSNER ARCHITECTURAL GUIDES GLAMORGAN
 
JOHN  NORMAN
 A jolly little building,single storeyed, of red brick,under a hipped roof with glazed lantern. Towards the road,doorway between stout twin columns of brick and semicircular windows. The intention was to reflect the materials of the Resurrection church and the motifs of the neighbouring housing, but Soane's " barn a la Paestum " and even the Post Modernism of John Outram seem also to have been in mind. Inside, benches below the windows, and four more portly columns, their surfaces marbled, defining the top-lit space."

How could Ely Cllr Russell Goodway even contemplate demolishing this gem? maybe because he doesnt live here?
Write to him "Goodway, Russell (Cllr)"  R.V.Goodway@cardiff.gov.uk
