In 1848 Warrington had the proud distinction of becoming the first town in the United Kingdom to open a rate-supported public library. It was born from a long-established private subscription library that had been operating in Warrington since 1760 from the Horsemarket Street premises of the printer William Eyres.
By the mid-1880s, Warrington’s municipal library – by now housed in [these] purpose-built premises in Museum Street, the foundation stone of which was laid by William Beamont in front of a massive crowd – boasted over 20,000 books and was thought to be the largest of any town in England based on the number of books per head of population.

A symmetrical front has shallow projecting wings with paired buttresses to the lower half, a parapet and gables set back with clasping buttresses, linked by a parapet in front of the recessed attic storey. Semicircular-arched doorway in the left-hand wing has splayed sides and a moulded arch, with a carved architrave to a flat-headed doorway with double half-glazed doors, and a segmental-arched plate-glass overlight. A tall shallow mullion and transom oriel above has a carved base and a parapet; the right-hand wing has a mullion and transom window below the oriel. Outer ground-floor windows to the wings are set in semicircular recesses; all ground-floor windows have 2-lights with moulded surrounds. The central section has 3 full-height segmental-arched recesses, with paired ground-floor windows and first-floor canted oriels with chequerboard panels to the sides, and a coved cornice; above are carved figures of Bede, Alfred the Great and Chaucer in the tympanum. Shallow buttresses to the second floor flank the windows. The gables have round mullion and transom windows, a gabled moulded cornice with Tudor roses and a shield. The left return and rear elevations are a complex and skilfully articulated pattern of recessed planes and blind arches, and include the 2-storey bowed stair block with buttresses between rising mullion windows.
