Brief description

2024: "Erith’s most significant building, the Grade II-listed Carnegie Library, has been transformed into The Exchange, a community-owned cultural hub

Built in 1906, the Grade II-listed Carnegie Library in the Thames-side industrial town of Erith closed to the public in 2009, and subsequently, the building substantially degraded causing the interior spaces to become water-damaged.

The Exchange was founded as a community-owned cultural and social organisation focused around the ‘social power’ of craft and making. After receiving funding and additional support from the Greater London Authority and Bexley Council, the former library has been transformed into a community hub with an annual programme of workshops and events."
