Description

Rednal Library, dated 1909, was designed by Benjamin Bower and is built in an Arts and Crafts style. The structure is made of brick and features a steep tiled roof that extends out to flat eaves, which are returned below plastered gable ends. To the left, there is an entrance arch with a concave reveal, tiled impost, and a foundation stone above. A three-light timber-framed casement window is positioned under the eaves, adjacent to a very large timber-framed rectangular bay window that has metal casements and a hipped roof that breaks through the eaves. At the roofline, there is a hipped bellcote with a tile-hung base.

Local climate

Rednal Library receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 62% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 39 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
