Proof that a Grade 1 Listed Building Can Be Accessible to All

The John Rylands Research Institute and Library is a magnificent neo gothic building, think Hogwarts! The historic building has a modern extension which makes it easy to access the historic parts of the building. The library was founded by Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands, and opened in 1900. Today, it is part of the University of Manchester, with a world class collection of rare books, manuscripts and archives. The building is open to the public, who can visit exhibitions, events or simply enjoy the stunning architecture. I attended a two day conference at the Library, the conference was held in the Christie Room and the evening session took place in the Historic Reading Room.
