Bits of the building have been exposed during the demolition process and it is hard to know what bit went where any more. Let’s not get into the stages of beginnings and endings that makes us all feel like failed Churchills. This load of rubble will be cleared, holes will be dug and walls will be built. Throw in a couple of windows, some doors and dress with bookshelves, books, table, chairs, coffee and people and hurrah! The new Cricklewood Library lives.
