Keeley Spilsbury discusses the fascinating history of the building now known as Stone Library. She will cover its journey from the original wooden structure, through its reconstruction and period as a market hall, to its use as a restaurant during World War II. Following the market's decline, it even served as a boxing ring!
Keeley will also delve into the lengthy decision-making process regarding whether Staffordshire County Council should convert the Market Hall into a library, culminating in its refurbishment in the early 2000s.
