Spring Hill Library
Spring Hill Library is a red brick and terracotta Victorian building in Ladywood, Birmingham, England. Designed in 1891 by Frederick Martin of Martin & Chamberlain with a 65 ft clock tower on the corner of Icknield Street and Spring Hill and opened on 7 January 1893, it now stands next to a roundabout and linked via a glazed atrium to a new (2010) Tesco superstore. The site was previously the location for the turnpike gate house for Icknield Street. Still in use as a Birmingham branch library, it is a Grade II* listed building.
