Polygon contains Penistone Town Hall which was opened in 1914 and Penistone Paramount the local cinema. The cinema first opened as a library in 1913. The building of the library was funded by a Carnegie grant. Andrew Carnegie was a successful business man who funded a large number of Free Libraries across Britain and in America (www.scotcities.com/carnegie/earlyy.htm [Accessed 2/03/07]). The opening of the library was part of the civil improvements made by the Urban District Council. This land was previously part of the enclosed strip fields around Penistone. The buildings don’t respect any of the previous enclosure boundaries so legibility is invisible.
