Room with a view

This shot is from inside Maghull Library on Merseyside looking out over into its courtyard and onto a G-Scale model railway which is presently being constructed.

 

Maghull's most famous resident was legendary toy-maker Frank Hornby lived there for much of his adult life. The Town's Leisure Centre houses Maghull Library and above it the Frank Hornby Heritage Centre that's run by the Frank Hornby Charitable Trust. The Trust and Sefton Council's Library Service are working together to theme Maghull Library along Hornby/Meccano/model railway lines and the outdoor model railway pictured is a part of a Lottery-funded project being promoted by Sefton Libraries.
