Woodrow Library in the Woodrow Centre, Redditch, Worcestershire, UK.

Woodrow Library is located in Woodrow Centre. A collection of outlets including a pharmacy, hairdressers, convenience store, bookmakers and local council office make up the rest of the local centre, with residential flats and maisonettes situated above. There is also a community centre opposite the library as well as local schools and a doctors' surgery nearby. Woodrow is a housing estate that was designed and built as part of Redditch's 'New Town' expansion that began in the mid-1960s. A decade later, thousands of families had occupied the new estates that were created, in what was (perhaps in retrospect, rather unkindly) termed the 'Birmingham Overspill'.
