Safe and Sound, In the Ground.
A Tozer Library, on land once owned by the Tozer Family
Property now home to Chartwell Retirement Residence
A freshly-painted home for books - new and used, ready for trading - now resides on Woodward Avenue, just off Riverside Drive. Shortly after this photo was taken, a retired librarian filled it with a wide assortment of fiction and non-fiction offerings, hoping to attract fair trades.
It sits opposite a Gothic Revival home (c1887) that was the centre-piece of inspiration for the library's design. The owners of the house even allowed me to borrow the matching paint from their own supply.
So, if you're out for your evening walk and want a route with a hill or two, travel west on Riverside from Wharncliffe, then turn right on Woodward.
Carry a used book and make a trade!
