About Canning Town Old Library

Canning Town Old Library by Cathy Buckmaster

Following a successful Levelling Up Fund bid, work is underway to transform Canning Town Old Library. Located on Barking Road, this Grade II listed building has been vacant since the new library facility in Rathbone Market opened.

We will transform this historically significant building, reinstating it as a valuable community asset which celebrates Newham’s heritage. Upon completion, it will house a new archive, reading rooms, a digital media suite, teaching and learning space, a café and new workspace. See website below for more details
