Coatham Grammar School

Who knows what inspired the demolition of this attractive building to be replaced with the current Redcar library ‘shed’

Update August 2011 : The Library is currently being demolished, perhaps this plaque will reappear on the replacement building ?

  1. Actually i quite like the Redcar Library building. It is, i understand, one of the few local modern buildings favourably cited in Pevsner’s Buildings of the UK

  2. And now the “Shed” Library has gone they are busy building a large public indoor swimming pool on the site. (in 2013) One original school building remains that of the Assembly Hall which is not on the photo above.
