Carnegie library
Dome on the top of the public library in Eccles. This grade II listed building was completed in 1907 to the design of Councillor Edward Potts, partner in Potts, Son and Hennings, after he secured funding of £7,500 from Andrew Carnegie. At the opening Potts expressed the hope that the building would become "the Eccles University" in harmony with Carlyle's dictum of 1841 that "the true university of these days is a collection of books."
