Old Clapham Library

The library on Clapham Common North Side was envisioned by Reverend George Forrester, Vicar of St Paul’s Church; Henry Bulcraig, a churchwarden of Holy Trinity Church, and William A Guesdon. It opened in 1889. In 2012 it moved to 91 Clapham High Street. The old building is now occupied by the Omnibus Theatre.
