A personal project shot over 3 years documenting the demise of Birmingham's old Central Library in Chamberlain Square. The first phase was photographing the last 3 months of operation - I was given unfettered access on Sunday mornings to photograph the building and its archives. All images are shot on film on either Hasselblad or Sinar 5'x4' cameras
