With more than 50,000 books, high ceilings, intricate architecture and garden space, staff at Nottingham's oldest independent library with a "different sort of feel" have spoken about their aims. They want to reach out to a wider demographic - and promote popular books at the library and the history behind some of the rooms.
Hidden on Angel Row between a charity shop and newsagent stands Bromley House Library. Built in 1752, Bromley House became a subscription library in 1816.
Before this, the library was a private house. In a building full of twists and turns with its long case clocks, the library currently has 1,700 members - some for the past 50 years.
