A Glimpse into The Old Library’s Past
The Birth of a Landmark
Back in 1905, The Old Library opened its doors, thanks to the vision of architect Thomas Shelmerdine and the generosity of philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Nestled at the corner of Green Lane and Lister Drive in Liverpool’s L13 area, this Grade II listed building served the community for over a century.
Years of Silence
After its closure in 2006, the library stood silent, its once bustling halls now echoing with the memories of the past. The building fell into disrepair, becoming a shadow of its former self.

Fast forward to 2020, and The Old Library underwent a significant restoration. Hidden rooms and forgotten passageways were unearthed, sparking curiosity and tales of the supernatural. Today, it stands not just as a piece of history but as a hotspot for those seeking encounters with the unknown.
