Leigh Library and Turnpike Centre in the 1990s and 2000s

From book launches and art exhibitions to craft sessions and school visits, there is usually plenty going on at Leigh Library and the Turnpike Centre.

We opened our archives to create this great collection of photographs showing people using the building during the 1990s and 2000s.

Do you recognise anyone?
