Sara Cox and the team recreate a derelict library in Manchester, restoring it to its former glory in miniature and capturing the beautiful love story that began there.

Sara Cox and miniaturist Hannah Lemon recreate Manchester’s Crumpsall Library for Leah, a retired social worker who met her late husband there as a teenager. Though the library now lies derelict, Hannah’s intricate model - parquet floors, stained-glass and even Neil’s school cap - brings back its splendour and the love story at its heart.
