Ordsall Hall, Manchester, England United Kingdom

Ordsall Hall is situated in the Salford Area of Manchester, just a short tram ride/drive away from the City Centre. It is a fine Grade 1 listed manor house, first recorded in 1210. Since then, it has been home to medieval gentry, Tudor nobility, Catholics loyal to the crown, butchers, farmers, an Earl, an artist, priests, scout troops, mill workers, cows and several ghosts!

The Hall has been superbly restored to its' former glory. The rooms have been re-created and furnished so that you can get a taste of what it would have been like to live there. There are handy information cards in each room which highlight the most interesting features.
