Descrição: Saltash Library, completed in 1963 and designed by Royston Summers of Cornwall County Architects' Department, has been handed a Grade II listing. In an article in the AJ in 1987 Summers (1931-2012) described the library, which is still in use today, as 'the most Corbusier building in Britain'. According to Historic England, the textured concrete structure is a striking and well-articulated example of post-war library design', drawing points of reference from Le Corbusier's Palace of Justice at Chandigarh in Punjab, India, which began construction in 1951.
